RTL Design Engineer

RTL Design Engineer

Voltai is developing world models, and agents to learn, evaluate, plan, experiment, and interact with the physical world. We are starting out with understanding and building hardware; electronics systems and semiconductors where AI can design and create beyond human cognitive limits.

You'll design and own RTL for production silicon, from microarchitecture to signoff-ready code. You'll work on real chip programs with leading semiconductor companies while helping Voltai's AI learn to write, review, and debug RTL the way the best designers do.

What You'll Do

• Own microarchitecture and RTL implementation for IP blocks and subsystems in SystemVerilog.
• Drive designs through lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, and timing closure with the backend team.
• Partner with verification and formal teams on test plans, assertions, and coverage closure.
• Debug complex functional and timing issues across simulation, emulation, and silicon.
• Review and evaluate AI-generated RTL, and help define what correct, high-quality design looks like.
• Work directly with customer design teams when needed.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of RTL design experience on chips that taped out.
• Expert SystemVerilog/Verilog and strong microarchitecture skills.
• Hands-on experience with lint, CDC, synthesis, and timing-aware design.
• Familiarity with common protocols (AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, or similar).
• Python or Tcl scripting.

Bonus Points

• Experience writing SVA or working with formal verification.
• Low-power design (UPF, clock and power gating).
• Interest in AI-assisted design tools.
