Remote Chip Design Jobs (NOW HIRING)

What MatX Is Building

MatX is seeking engineers with strong Haskell skills to join our team as we create best-in-class silicon for high-performance and sustainable GenAI. The successful candidate for this role will be responsible for delivering performant silicon RTL at the full-chip or subsystem level.

You will write hardware in Bluespec, a hardware description language rooted in Haskell's type system and semantics. If you've ever wished you could design hardware with the composability and correctness guarantees of a modern functional language, this is the role for you. You do not need prior hardware experience to apply - if you know Haskell, we will teach you the hardware side.

What You'll Do Here

• Build production hardware for compute, memory management, and high-speed connectivity
• Develop reusable, parameterized Bluespec libraries that scale across the chip
• Shape hardware architecture by leveraging the power of Bluespec to explore implementation tradeoffs and converge on the best designs
• Create innovative tooling for our hardware/software ecosystem to help us build correct, high-performance hardware faster

Who You Are

• Proficient in Haskell - you're comfortable with monads, typeclasses, higher-order functions, and do-notation. You understand why return injects a value into a monadic context and what <- does in a do-block
• Strongly willing to quickly ramp on Bluespec Haskell (BH)
• Strong engineering fundamentals - you write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows

Bonus Points If You Have

• Existing experience with Bluespec.
• Prior hardware design experience - ASIC or FPGA. If you already understand clock domains, pipelining, state machines, synthesis, and timing closure, that's a significant advantage.
• Production Rust experience. If you know Haskell, Rust is easy, but if you've already used it on something real, that's a head start
