ABOUT THE TEAM
OpenAI develops models that can reason through complex problems and hardware designed for the demands of advanced AI. AI for Chips connects these efforts: applying increasingly capable AI systems to the work of semiconductor engineering.
Our goal is to help engineers develop better chips and shorten design cycles. This work brings research, model training, and hardware expertise together to build tools that engineers can use on real designs, with correctness and measurable performance at the center.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Research Engineer to help OpenAI models solve chip-design problems through reinforcement learning, tool use, and evaluation.
You’ll own experiments from the initial idea through implementation and analysis. That means building environments and evaluations, running training, investigating failures, and using the results to decide what to try next. You’ll also build the software needed to make those experiments reliable and reproducible.
We value strong coding fundamentals, careful experimental judgment, and the ability to make progress independently. Prior chip-design experience is helpful, but you can learn the domain alongside the team’s hardware specialists.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL
- Build RL environments and evaluations for tasks such as RTL generation, design verification, and physical design optimization.
- Develop and test approaches that help models use chip-design tools and improve power, performance, and area while preserving correctness.
- Design experiments, establish baselines, and measure whether improv
