Lead AI Researcher (AI for chip design)

XORVIS AI is developing autonomous chip IP and SoC design systems. The Lead AI Researcher will define the company’s AI architecture, develop agentic AI capabilities for chip design, establish evaluation methods and benchmarks, and provide technical direction to ML researchers and engineers.

Responsibilities:

• Build novel, agent-native tools and algorithms purpose-built for autonomous chip design workflows
• Innovate novel models for intent space, design space, coverage space that are computationally cheap to update incrementally, natively ingests constraints and directives, and support explianable reasoning over their output
• Build agents that incorporate user intent, drive EDA tools, execute multi-step workflows, analyze results, recover from failures, and improve over time
• Design rigorous evaluation methods for Agentic tools and agents
• Devise benchmarks and KPIs that decisively establish product quality and ROI with customers
• Provide technical direction to team of ML researchers and engineers
