Research Engineer - Hardware, Data

Research EngineerPhinity is an AI research lab focused on solving chip design. The bottleneck to AGI is compute, and we enable AI agents to tape-out chips autonomously, from architecture to post-silicon. We are building RL environments, agent infrastructure, and evaluation systems to accomplish this.

Our team brings together deep AI and silicon expertise, including leaders and executives from top chip companies, post-training chip-design models at NVIDIA, AI for formal verification research, previous exits, and over 10 years of experience building chips at NVIDIA, Intel, Mediatek, and others.We are hiring a Research Engineer to develop data in order to train and evaluate agents on hardware tasks. You will:Build and scale out generation of novel, experimental environments for testing agents in real-world hardware engineering tasksProfile and benchmark unreleased modelsRun and experiment on research problems at the intersection of hardware engineering and reinforcement learningWhat we're looking for:Prior low-level systems and/or VLSI experienceGood research intuitions and rigorous engineering skillsLeadership skills; high ownershipML/RL background is a plusOperational experience is a plusWhy Phinity:Work directly with frontier AI labs to re-imagine ASIC design-see the frontier of intelligence before anyone elseCollaborate with our AI researchers and HW experts, with high leverage and ownership to develop new technologiesBenefits include:Health insuranceRetirement plansUnlimited PTOPaid parental leaveLunch and dinner provided in-office
