<div class="content-intro"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SambaNova is a leader in next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering a full-stack inference platform for customers worldwide. At the core of SambaNova's technology is the RDU (Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit) — a chip built on a dataflow architecture rather than the traditional GPU model. Its decode performance is especially strong for agentic workloads like multi-turn agents, code generation, and long-running applications. RDUs are packaged into SambaRack, rack-scale hardware that lets customers deploy state-of-the-art models with better performance, greater energy efficiency, and faster time to value.</span></p></div><h3><strong>About the team About the role</strong></h3> <p>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 </p> <h3><strong>About the role</strong></h3> <p>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</p> <h3><strong>Required Qualifications</strong></h3> <ul> <li>B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science</li> <li>5+ years of experience in ASIC RTL design</li> <li>Solid foundation in computer architecture and digital logic design</li> <li>Strong SystemVerilog RTL design skills for high-speed, high-performance ASICs</li> <li>Experience making design decisions that trade off power, performance, and area</li> <li>Knowledge of industry-standard interconnects and protocols including AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, and HBM or DDR</li> <li>Experience with digital logic synthesis tools and static timing analysis</li> <li>Proficiency with industry-standard tools for linting, clock domain crossing, and logical equivalence checking</li> <li>Experience implementing SystemVerilog Assertions to check design intent</li> <li>Familiarity with tools and simulators for hardware performance analysis and tuning</li> <li>Familiarity with Git for managing release cycles</li> <li>Scripting skills in Python and Linux shell</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Preferred Qualifications</strong></h3> <ul> <li>M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science</li> <li>Exposure to a full ASIC development cycle through tape-out and production silicon</li> <li>Interest in or knowledge of AI workload acceleration techniques</li> <li>Experience with low-power design techniques such as clock gating and DVFS at advanced process nodes</li> <li>Exposure to emulation or FPGA prototyping platforms for pre-silicon validation</li> </ul><div class="content-pay-transparency"><div class="pay-input"><div class="description"><p>Base Salary Range:</p></div><div class="title">Base Pay Range</div><div class="pay-range"><span>$120,000</span><span class="divider">—</span><span>$200,000 USD</span></div></div></div><div class="content-conclusion"><p><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Submission Guidelines<br></span></strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Please note that in order to be considered an applicant for any position at SambaNova Systems, you must submit an application form for each position for which you believe you are qualified. </span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">EEO Policy<br></span></strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">SambaNova Systems is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
