Chip Design Engineer

Chip Design Engineer | 3–10 Years | Remote · Freelance

About Bespoke Lab

At Bespoke Labs.AI, we're building immersive digital worlds where intelligent agents learn, reason, and evolve. We design large-scale AI environments and production-grade systems that directly shape how next-generation models are trained, not tooling around AI, but the systems that power it. Our work has driven foundational datasets likeOpenThoughts and state-of-the-art models such as Bespoke-MiniCheckand Bespoke-MiniChart

About the Role

We're looking for a Freelance Chip Design Engineer to create RL environments that will train the next generation of frontier models. It's high-impact work that sits right at the intersection of hardwareexpertise and cutting-edge AI development.

You'll bring a solid electrical engineering foundation, real silicon experience, and the ability to write practical Python for test automation and hardware characterization. This isn't a software role dressed up in hardware language, we need engineers who live and breathe digital design.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Engineering
• 3–10 years of hands-on experience in chip design, RTL Design, ASIC Design, Validation Engineer, Physical Design or Silicon characterization (not adjacent — actual IC work)
• Python proficiency applied to hardware — scripting, automation, data processing
• Familiarity with IC physical design concepts: DRC, LVS, PEX, and standard cell libraries

What We Are Not Looking For

This role is explicitly not suited for software engineers, data scientists, or embedded firmware developers looking to pivot into chip design. Candidates must have direct, hands-on experience with Chip Design, RTL, digital IC design, ASIC/FPGA flows, or functional verification. Python fluency alone, without a grounding in chip design and Electrical Engineering, will not be sufficient.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and meaningful Equity
• Direct impact on frontier AI model training and evaluation infrastructure
• Flexible, remote-friendly environment with low bureaucracy
• A small, high-caliber team with deep AI research expertise
• Health, wellness, and learning & development benefits
