OpenAI's Hardware organization is hiring a tools engineer to build the software its chip designers rely on daily. The work covers hardware compilers, IR transforms, RTL generation, simulation, debugging, and automation, plus reproducible builds, error messages, and CI. Candidates should have strong CS fundamentals and be proficient in Rust, C++, or Python, with enough familiarity to read Verilog/SystemVerilog and apply compiler or IR concepts. The team co-designs AI-native silicon for frontier models. U.S. export control rules may impose legal status requirements.
