Member of Technical Staff - ML Research

Architect Labs is hiring a Member of Technical Staff to conduct fundamental research and train AI models for chip design, verification, and exploration. The role focuses on reinforcement learning, reward modeling, and scalable model training and evaluation pipelines, translating research into production-ready chip-design implementations.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for co-designing and implementing the Reinforcement Learning environments and algorithms, Reward Models trainings and reward signal experiments
• You will work at the intersection of cutting-edge research and production engineering for chip designs, implementing, scaling, and improving post-training techniques to enhance model capabilities and usability
• Design, build, and run robust, efficient pipelines for model fine-tuning and evaluation, ensuring that theoretical performance translates into production-ready implementations
• This is a hands-on, 0→1 role where you'll own the end-to-end RL workflow—from reward modeling and environment design to test-time optimization and scaling
• Collaborate with research teams to translate emerging techniques into production-ready implementations and debug complex issues in training pipelines and model behavior
