Job Description

Senior Firmware Engineer - San Francisco, CA

A company building AI systems that can interact with the physical world at scale - designing experiments, controlling hardware, and accelerating scientific discovery from days to reality are looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer to join their team.

What Will I Be Doing

  • Design auto-generation flows transforming specs into deterministic firmware/RTL, including register maps, FSMs, and memory-mapped interfaces
  • Own digital design correctness: clock/reset domains, CDC, timing constraints, and synthesis-aware RTL for FPGA/ASIC workflows
  • Build integration layers for standard protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet) and internal buses (AXI, APB, Wishbone)
  • Develop verification infrastructure: self-checking testbenches, SVA, linting, coverage-driven regression, and formal methods
  • Create tool-driven feedback loops running synthesis/simulation/formal verification with automatic fix proposals
  • Ship CI/CD systems with golden tests, build determinism, and strict change controls
  • Implement safety guardrails: invariants, privilege boundaries, audit logging, and policies preventing unsafe outputs
  • Collaborate with platform, ML/agent, and domain teams to integrate into live hardware workflows

What We're Looking For

  • Strong digital design: FSM design, register maps, timing/constraints, CDC, hardware debug
  • Hardware protocol integration and memory-mapped control patterns
  • Verification skills: testbenches, SVA/assertions, UVM concepts, simulation tools (Verilator, commercial)
  • FPGA/ASIC flow knowledge and ability to deliver synthesizable, timing-clean RTL
  • Experience building reproducible automation pipelines: deterministic codegen, error parsing, CI/CD
  • AI-powered code generation pipeline experience: spec → structured IR, templating, tool-calling loops, safety mechanisms
  • Strong software engineering: clean architecture, testing, versioning, reliability mindset

What's In It For Me:

  • Salary of $200,000 - $300,000 dependent on experience
  • Greenfield work. Build something that doesn't exist, at the frontier of physical AI and automated hardware design
  • Real impact. Control actual physical systems contributing to breakthroughs in cancer detection, materials science, and more
  • Join a company backed by significant venture funding and a $42M government research programme

Apply now for immediate consideration!
