Job description

Description
Invent the future with us.
Ampere is a semiconductor design company for a new era, leading the future of computing with an innovative approach to CPU design focused on high-performance, energy efficient AI compute.
As a pioneer in the new frontier of energy efficient high-performance computing, Ampere is part of the Softbank Group of companies driving sustainable computing for AI, Cloud, and edge applications.
Join us at Ampere and work alongside a passionate and growing team - we'd love to have you apply!
About the role:
Are you passionate about computer architecture and eager to launch your career in chip design? Join Ampere as an Entry-Level SoC Logic Design Engineer, where you'll have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge microarchitecture.
At Ampere, we build SoCs that power the future of AI computing. Our team embraces a start-up spirit-offering plenty of opportunities to learn, grow, and innovate. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and mentors who are excited to help you develop your skills in a collaborative, fun, and fast-paced environment. We value creativity, independence, and teamwork-and yes, we also enjoy lunchtime runs, gaming, bouldering, and even debating the best way to cut a doughnut!
What you'll achieve:
  • Jumpstart your career by helping develop and explore exciting micro-architectural features for our SoC designs, focusing on improving power, performance, area, and frequency
  • Work closely with talented teams across verification, silicon engineering, architecture, and performance throughout the entire design process
  • Learn directly from experienced engineers and gain valuable hands-on experience with RTL design and implementation
  • Join design workgroups where your fresh ideas and unique perspective will help shape industry-leading hardware
  • Collaboration with the architecture team to define and document microarchitecture, then bring those designs to life through RTL implementation for SoC blocks
  • Get involved in integrating third-party IPs into SoC subsystems, expanding your understanding of complex system design
  • Partnering with the design verification team to ensure the functionality and quality of design blocks
  • Work alongside the silicon engineering team to support timing closure and other critical steps that bring designs to completion

About You:
  • Relevant internship or academic project experience in digital logic design, computer architecture, or related areas
  • Familiarity with hardware description languages (such as SystemVerilog or VHDL) and a basic understanding of RTL design concepts
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
  • Eagerness to learn, collaborate, and grow in a dynamic team environment
  • Good communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts clearly
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

What we'll offer:
At Ampere we believe in taking care of our employees and providing a competitive total rewards package that includes base pay, cash long-term incentive, and comprehensive benefits. The full base pay range for this role is between $95,500 and $143,500, except in the San Francisco Bay Area where the range is between $109,500 and $164,500.
Our benefits include health, wellness, and financial programs that support employees through every stage of life.
Benefit highlights include:
• Premium medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, as well as income protection and a 401K retirement plan, so that you can feel secure in your health and financial future.
• Unlimited Flextime and 10+ paid holidays so that you can embrace a healthy work-life balance.
• A variety of healthy snacks, energizing espresso, and refreshing drinks to keep you fueled and focused throughout the day.
And there is much more than compensation and benefits. At Ampere, we foster an inclusive culture that empowers our employees to do more and grow more. We are excited to share more about our career opportunities with you through the interview process.
