Silicon EDA Software Engineer

Generation Alpha Transistor is an early stage startup bringing AI to chip design. Founded this year by a team of UC Berkeley PhDs with deep expertise across software, semiconductors, ML and AI, and well-funded by silicon valley’s best investors and the US Chips Act.

Work directly with our founders and customers, including some of the world’s biggest & highest-impact semiconductor designers & fabs. Develop novel tactics for existing chip-world problems, commonly known as electronic design automation, EDA. Optimizing placement, routing, extraction, simulation, physical verification (LVS, DRC). Working knowledge of silicon design flow & typical chip data (LEF, DEF, GDS, spice, etc) a plus.

Bonus points for experience with LLM-based AI systems & agents, GUI applications for both web and desktop platforms.

We value software generalists & polyglots who are unafraid to try & learn new & valuable tools, wherever they can be found. Past experience in cloud-native B2B and customer-facing engineering roles is a plus. Desire to grow into engineering leadership is a plus. Desire to work in a rapidly changing, high intensity environment is a must.
