Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
Key skills for this role
You will develop, integrate, and optimize state-of-the-art CUDA kernels to power AI models that accelerate semiconductor design and verification. Your work will enable large-scale model training, inference, and reinforcement learning systems that reason about circuit layouts, generate and validate RTL, and optimize chip architectures — running efficiently across thousands of GPUs. You’ll build tools, performance benchmarks, and integration layers that push the limits of GPU utilization for compute-intensive workloads in AI-driven hardware design. Working closely with researchers and engineers, you’ll help make Voltai the world’s leading AI + semiconductor research organization. You’ll also release your kernels and tooling as contributions to the open-source AI and HPC ecosystems .
Backed by Silicon Valley’s top investors, Stanford University, and CEOs/Presidents of Google, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, etc. We are a team of previous Stanford professors, SAIL researchers, Olympiad medalists (IPhO, IOI, etc.), CTOs of Synopsys & GlobalFoundries, Head of Sales & CRO of Cadence, former US Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, and Senior Foreign-Policy Advisor to four US presidents.
