We’re building physical general intelligence — autonomous systems that can experiment, reason, and discover in the physical world. With deep technical roots and real-world progress at scale (e.g., a $42M NIH project), we’re pushing the frontier of physical AI. Joining us means inventing from first principles, owning real systems end-to-end, and helping build a capability the world has never had before. About the Role We’re seeking a Firmware/HDL Automation Lead Engineer to build a fully automatic pipeline for generating firmware and HDL (e.g., Verilog/SystemVerilog) that runs a control console for real hardware systems. You’ll sit at the intersection of digital design/verification and agentic LLM pipeline engineering, turning specs into structured representations, generating deterministic RTL/firmware, and closing the loop with tool-driven validation (synth/sim/formal) until the system is correct, robust, and reproducible. This role is ideal for someone who can design production-grade RTL and verification, understands FPGA/ASIC constraints deeply, and can build automation systems that are safe, testable, and reliable enough to trust with real hardware control logic.
