Hardware engineer (remote)

Phinity is helping the labs building AGI automate hardware engineering by building environments to train agents on hardware design and verification tasks. Our customers include one of the largest frontier labs.We're seeking hardware engineers to collaborate with frontier lab researchers to create high-quality RTL design, verification, and debugging challenges that mirror real-world semiconductor development. It is a remote / hybrid position with flexible hours, with pay up to $90 / hour based on experience.What you’ll do : Develop realistic RTL design and verification problems that reflect industry complexity and best practicesBuild and optimize containerized environments for agent training tasks in hardware design workflowsWork directly with frontier lab AI researchers to understand agent capabilities and training requirementsRequired Experience : 2+ years in RTL design using Verilog / System Verilog or VHDLStrong background in verification methodologies (UVM, System Verilog, testbench development)Experience with synthesis, timing analysis, and debugging toolsFamiliarity with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics)Skills : Strong problem-solving and analytical thinkingExcellent communication skills for cross-functional collaboration for researchers who are not hardware expertsCuriosity about AI / ML applications in hardware designSelf-motivated and able to work independently in a remote environment
