Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Anthropic as an employer.

What you need

  • Deep, hands-on expertise in at least one silicon domain: front-end design, pre-silicon verification, physical design, design for test, analog and mixed-signal, technology and foundry, design infrastructure, or packaging and signal/power integrity
  • Direct personal contribution to silicon that taped out and shipped, with ownership you can speak to in detail
  • Working fluency in the domains adjacent to your own, sufficient to reason about chip-level tradeoffs outside your specialty
  • Experience working with external partners — ASIC houses, IP vendors, foundries, or test partners — including reviewing their work and holding a technical bar
  • Track record of owning directional technical decisions and their consequences, not only making recommendations
  • Practical experience using AI coding tools in your own work, and clear ideas about where they help and where they do not

Nice to have

  • Experience on machine learning accelerators, high-performance compute, or other large, high-bandwidth designs
  • Experience on a founding or early-stage silicon team, including standing up flows, methodology, or tooling from nothing
  • Experience with both partner-executed and fully in-house programs, and a view on the tradeoffs between them
  • Familiarity with the chip-package-system interface and the tradeoffs that cross it
  • Experience with hardware-software co-design and working directly with compiler, kernel, or runtime teams

What you get

  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Optional equity donation matching
  • Generous vacation and parental leave
  • Flexible working hours
  • Lovely office space for collaboration

Worth weighing

  • No specific details on the team size or structure, which may impact collaboration and support
  • The role requires high autonomy, which may not suit everyone
  • Visa sponsorship is available but not guaranteed for every candidate
  • The job involves a hybrid work policy, requiring at least 25% in-office presence
