Member of Technical Staff

Headquartered in San FranciscoEngineeringFull-time

GenAlpha brings AI to silicon’s toughest challenges. We’re an early-stage startup, founded in 2024 by experts in semiconductors, ML and AI, and backed by Silicon Valley’s best VCs. AI is driving demand for more chips than ever, just as Moore’s Law runs out. Each new chip is harder to design than the last: more complex, more costly and more laborious at every node.

As an MTS you’ll work in a dynamic, high-growth, collaboration-heavy environment, directly with our founders and customers. Those customers include some of the world’s biggest and highest-impact semiconductor designers and fabs. Everyone has the same title: Member of Technical Staff. Focus areas:

Member of Technical Staff — Analog IC
Design and verify analog and mixed-signal circuits, supervise layout, and determine what design insights to build into our next-gen AI Designers.
Member of Technical Staff — Forward Deployed Silicon
Work with our customers’ design teams. Bring our AI Designers into their work. Help solve their problems, sometimes by doing the design yourself. Bring what you learn back to the product.
Member of Technical Staff — AI for Silicon
Build AI agents that design chips, and the silicon EDA they run on: LLM agents, evaluations, placement, routing, extraction and physical verification for analog, RF and custom circuits.

Not sure which one fits? Apply anyway.

We don’t expect anyone to match every bullet in any of these postings, let alone all three. Our team includes analog designers learning AI and AI engineers learning analog. If any of this sounds like you, and especially if learning the rest sounds like fun, please get in touch. Tell us what you’re great at, and we’ll work out the fit together.
