Key skills for this role
SambaNova RTL Design Engineers design component units of the Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) ASICs behind our AI acceleration systems. You'll own blocks within a larger subsystem, contributing sections of the microarchitecture specification, writing and debugging the RTL, and carrying your blocks through implementation, tape-out, and silicon bring-up. You'll work alongside principal engineers, architects, design verification, and physical design, and take on larger blocks as you build depth in our architecture
The RTL design team builds the compute datapath, on-chip network, and memory subsystems inside SambaNova's RDU AI accelerator. Their work spans microarchitecture through tape-out: RTL implementation, PPA trade-offs, quality gates like lint, CDC, and LEC, and timing closure with
