Senior Design Engineer
About The Position
ChipAgents is revolutionizing chip design and verification with agentic-AI workflows. Founded by experts in AI and semiconductor design, we partner with top-10 semiconductor companies, hyperscale cloud providers, and cutting-edge startups. Our platform accelerates RTL development, functional verification, and simulation, unlocking new levels of productivity and design quality. We are looking for a Senior Design Engineer to own and drive the product experience across ChipAgents. This is an engineering role for someone with exceptional product judgment and strong opinions about how technical software should work. You will identify user problems, define workflows and interaction models, and ensure that the final experience is coherent, intuitive, and effective. This role designs experiences across CLI, web, IDE, desktop, and other agent-native interfaces, not simply implementing designs or requirements created by someone else. It involves working directly with users, engineers, AI researchers, and company leadership to shape the product from problem definition through launch and iteration. While you may implement major parts of the experience yourself, your responsibility extends beyond the code you personally write.
Requirements
- Strong experience building and shipping user-facing software.
- Excellent frontend or product engineering skills.
- Exceptional product, interaction design, and information architecture judgment.
- Comfort making decisions under ambiguity and driving alignment without formal authority.
- The ability to reason through complete workflows, including edge cases and failure states.
- Experience working directly with users and translating technical needs into product decisions.
- The ability and desire to quickly learn unfamiliar technical domains.
Nice To Haves
- Experience building AI-native products, agents, copilots, or systems with probabilistic behavior.
- Experience with developer tools, command-line products, IDE integrations, or technical enterprise software.
- Familiarity with semiconductor design, verification, EDA tooling, or hardware engineering workflows.
- Experience designing products across multiple interfaces rather than a single web application.
Responsibilities
- Own the product experience across CLI, web, IDE, desktop, and other agent-native interfaces.
- Translate complex chip design and verification workflows into clear, efficient product experiences.
- Define how users interact with AI agents, including task creation, progress, review, approval, interruption, recovery, and failure handling.
- Work directly with customers and domain experts to understand their workflows and identify the right problems to solve.
- Develop prototypes and production interfaces when code is the fastest way to explore and validate an idea.
- Review and influence product work across the engineering team to maintain a consistently high quality bar.
Benefits
- Unlimited PTO
- Full benefits (medical, vision, dental, 401k)
- Two engineering-centric offices with free parking, private gym, and free lunch, drinks and snacks.
