Zettascale Computing, San Francisco, California
Be part of a small team building Zettascale Computing's silicon efforts from FPGA prototype through tapeout and bring-up. You will set technical direction across architecture, RTL, verification, tooling, and timing closure, build the silicon team as the company grows, and partner closely with the PCB, interconnects, racks and pods, and software teams.
Tapeout experience, large FPGA prototypes, high-speed interface integration, formal verification, UVM, cocotb, firmware, drivers, and systems programming are strong advantages.
