Bluespec Design Engineer (Haskell)

MatX•Mountain View, CA

136d•$120,000 - $475,000•Hybrid

About The Position

MatX is seeking engineers with strong Haskell skills to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. The successful candidate for this role will be responsible for delivering performant silicon RTL at the full-chip or subsystem level. You will write hardware in Bluespec, a hardware description language rooted in Haskell's type system and semantics. If you've ever wished you could design hardware with the composability and correctness guarantees of a modern functional language, this is the role for you. You do not need prior hardware experience to apply — if you know Haskell, we will teach you the hardware side.

Requirements

Proficient in Haskell — you're comfortable with monads, typeclasses, higher-order functions, and do-notation. You understand why return injects a value into a monadic context and what <- does in a do-block
Strongly willing to quickly ramp on Bluespec Haskell (BH)
Strong engineering fundamentals — you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows
All candidates must be authorized to work in the United States and work from our offices in Mountain View Tuesdays-Thursdays.
This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicants capacity to perform job functions in compliance with U.S. export control laws without obtaining a license from U.S. export control authorities.

Nice To Haves

Existing experience with Bluespec.
Prior hardware design experience — ASIC or FPGA. If you already understand clock domains, pipelining, state machines, synthesis, and timing closure, that's a significant advantage.
Production Rust experience. If you know Haskell, Rust is easy, but if you've already used it on something real, that's a head start

Responsibilities

Build production hardware for compute, memory management, and high-speed connectivity
Develop reusable, parameterized Bluespec libraries that scale across the chip
Shape hardware architecture by leveraging the power of Bluespec to explore implementation tradeoffs and converge on the best designs
Create innovative tooling for our hardware/software ecosystem to help us build correct, high-performance hardware faster
