Senior Hardware Engineer

Who you are

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with writing RTL code or using High-Level Synthesis, including at least one commercial HLS tool (Catapult, Vitis HLS, Stratus, or equivalent)
• Solid hardware modeling background regarding fixed-point arithmetic, bit-accurate types, synthesis pragmas and modeling trade-offs
• Scripting experience in Python for development, toolchain automation and testing
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Experience with simulation and functional verification flows
• Experience using Linux-based development environments
• Solid understanding of RTL / VHDL
• Understanding of FPGA architectural capabilities and constraints
• Knowledge of verification methodologies and testbench development
• Experience with DSP algorithms and applications using Python/MATLAB
• Bonus: Interest in or familiarity with LLM-assisted code transformation and readability tooling
• Experience with Git-based development workflows and CI/CD environments

What the job involves

• Code Metal is in the business of transpiling between different languages
• This includes the transpilation tools enabled by AI and modern verification techniques — bridging the gap between algorithm development and deployment to embedded systems
• We are currently looking for a senior hardware/software engineer interested in architecting and expanding our capabilities towards creating production-ready RTL from high-level algorithm descriptions
• This role focuses on HLS integration and RTL code generation
• You will be joining a team that values technical rigor, ownership, and collaboration across disciplines
• Develop C++ and post-HLS readability and optimization passes to produce human-auditable RTL
• Leveraging Agentic AI and verification capability within Code Metal
• Contribute to CI/CD qualification including automated RTL simulation, functional verification, and regression testing

Benefits

• Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
• Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
• Paid Time Off (Uncapped Vacation, plus Sick & Public Holidays)
• Flexible hybrid work arrangement
• Relocation assistance for qualifying employees
