Join the revolution.
We are a small startup with big goals.
Zero ASIC is building the infrastructure that will make custom silicon dramatically easier to design. We're seeking experienced digital hardware engineers who can help us deliver our ambitious roadmap to revolutionize silicon design.
We hire exceptional candidates only. Members of our engineering team meet most of these qualifications (some are role-dependent):
Solid foundation in computer engineering or architecture
Our engineers hold degrees in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. Several team members have earned PhDs from leading universities known for cutting-edge semiconductor research.
Hands-on experience
Whether through coursework, past employment, or personal projects, Zero ASIC engineers demonstrate a passion for building real systems. We value engineers who create their own hardware projects and share their work in open repositories.
Excellent programming skills
With such a small team, everyone writes code. While AI tools can assist, our engineers must deeply understand programming concepts and be comfortable working across the stack (application software, Python, C++, operating systems, bare metal, Verilog, etc.).
Experience with high-performance microarchitecture and RTL development
Strong candidates have experience in one or more of the following areas NPUs, CPUs, NOCs, NICs, high-speed SerDes, GPUs, FPGAs, RISC-V development, ARM integration, memory subsystems, I/O subsystems.
Strong collaboration and communication skills
We look for engineers who are self-motivated, creative, and capable of driving projects to completion. Teamwork and clear communication are essential.
Interested?
Note: We receive many applications and are unable to respond to every submission. Rest assured that every application is reviewed carefully. We will reach out if we believe your background may be a strong match for our team.
