What we need to see:

  • A BS or higher degree in a relevant field (CS, EE, Math) or equivalent experience, with 5+ years of relevant experience.

  • Expert programming and software skills in C++.

  • Experience in RTL design and/or architecture with the ability to understand common chip design concepts.

  • An automation-centered mindset.

  • A desire to improve work efficiency using AI.

 

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
