HQ: Santa Clara, United States • Processors, MCUs & AI Chips • Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services • 1001-5000 employees • Est. 2015 • Trust A • Hiring 110, 2 new
SiFive is an American semiconductor company founded in 2015 by the Berkeley researchers who created the RISC-V instruction set, and it designs processor cores that others license and build into their own chips. Its business is an alternative to Arm: because RISC-V is an open standard rather than a proprietary architecture, customers can extend the instruction set for their own workloads without negotiating with the architecture owner, which has drawn interest from companies building custom artificial intelligence and automotive silicon. Headquartered in Santa Clara, it licenses cores to chipmakers, cloud operators and defence customers rather than manufacturing anything itself.

The market right now

Alion currently lists 24 open Hardware Engineer jobs in Berkeley from 7 companies. 1 of them was posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 5 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 1 of the 24 carries the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and is marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.

What these roles pay

23 of these Hardware Engineer jobs in Berkeley state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $161K and $194K a year, with a median of $185K. By level, the median runs senior at $161K and staff at $194K. The step from senior to staff is worth about 1.2x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.

Where the work is

The largest concentrations of these roles are Taiwan (4) and United States (1). Most of these positions are on-site roles tied to a specific office.
