Chip Design Consultant – Part Time Remote

Location: Remote, United States

Join an innovative and rapidly evolving technology initiative at the intersection of semiconductor design and artificial intelligence. This opportunity is ideal for experienced chip design professionals who want to influence the future of intelligent systems by guiding how AI understands and optimizes real-world hardware design workflows. In this role, you will work on cutting-edge challenges that shape next-generation chip development, all within a flexible, part-time, fully remote environment.

What You Will Do

• Analyze and contribute to full chip development workflows, spanning RTL through physical implementation
• Review and provide feedback on system architectures and hardware design approaches generated through advanced modeling techniques
• Support development of automated validation pipelines, including synthesis, timing, and power evaluation
• Assess tradeoffs across power, performance, and area to guide optimal design decisions
• Collaborate in exploratory and research-driven environments where project scope may evolve
• Provide subject matter expertise to improve design methodologies and overall system understanding

Core Focus Areas

• End-to-end ASIC design processes, from RTL through layout
• FPGA-based system design, prototyping, and deployment
• Synthesis, floorplanning, and timing optimization strategies
• Low-power design techniques, including clock gating and multi-threshold approaches

Required Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
• Deep knowledge of ASIC or FPGA design environments
• Strong programming skills, particularly in Python for scripting and automation
• Ability to work independently in a remote, research-oriented setting

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience supporting full chip tape-out cycles
• Familiarity with design for test methodologies or physical design concepts
• Exposure to open-source or commercial EDA tools such as synthesis and timing platforms

Why This Role Stands Out

• Flexible, part-time schedule designed for experienced professionals
• Fully remote, work from anywhere in the United States
• Opportunity to influence the future of AI-driven hardware design
• Engage with complex, high-impact technical challenges in a cutting-edge domain
