Software Engineer, Chip Design

As a Software Engineer at Ricursive, you’ll build the systems and infrastructure that power our end-to-end RTL-to-GDS flow. You’ll work across the broader design stack, improving how we run, evaluate, and iterate on complex chip designs at scale. This includes building reliable execution infrastructure, developing tooling that connects different stages of the flow, improving performance and scalability, and making it easier for our models and engineers to quickly understand the impact of each change. Every improvement compounds: faster runs and tighter feedback loops let us explore more ideas, make better decisions, and reduce iteration cycles. Your work will also have a direct impact on PPA in production. You’ll run against real designs with real constraints, debug issues that only emerge at scale, and make engineering tradeoffs around quality, runtime, robustness, and deadlines—not just performance on academic benchmarks.
