Silimate is the copilot for chip designers.

Chip teams today are still using the same archaic workflows from 30 years ago, resulting in lengthy 12-18 month design cycles and the inability to ship custom chips fast enough to keep up with the software pointer.

We're changing that at Silimate.

Our chip design copilot is helping chip designers create correct, PPA-optimized RTL code from the onset, and eliminate months from their tapeout schedule. Our goal is to enable autonomous spec-to-design.

We are generating significant revenue with customers that include billion-dollar public enterprises and chip unicorns, and are well-funded by top investors. We're growing fast — demand for Silimate has outpaced our ability to build and ship the product.

If you want to transform how chips are designed by the entire chip industry, join us!

We’re hiring a passionate software intern with VLSI experience + strong coding skills to build our chip design copilot with us.
