Research Engineer: AI for Chip Design & RL

Voltai

Voltai is seeking engineers to post-train frontier models that autonomously handle complex semiconductor tasks. You will design RL environments, generate rich evaluation datasets, and partner with hardware and verification experts to define metrics and execution conditions. You will craft reward functions, scaling strategies, and rigorous evaluation frameworks to push models toward reliable, efficient, and creative silicon reasoning in next-generation designs. #J-18808-Ljbffr Voltai
