About Voltai
Voltai is developing world models, and agents to learn, evaluate, plan, experiment, and interact with the physical world. We are starting out with understanding and building hardware; electronics systems and semiconductors where AI can design and create beyond human cognitive limits.

About the Team

Backed by Silicon Valley’s top investors, Stanford University, and CEOs/Presidents of Google, AMD, Broadcom, Marvell, etc. We are a team of previous Stanford professors, SAIL researchers, Olympiad medalists (IPhO, IOI, etc.), CTOs of Synopsys & GlobalFoundries, Head of Sales & CRO of Cadence, former US Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, and Senior Foreign-Policy Advisor to four US presidents.

About this Role
You’ll design, implement, and maintain the automation infrastructure that powers Voltai’s hardware validation labs. You’ll build systems that automatically test, characterize, and qualify silicon and board-level designs — integrating software, robotics, and data pipelines for continuous validation and improvement.

You might thrive if you have 5+ years of experience in

  • Python, LabVIEW, or test automation frameworks

  • Instrumentation control (SCPI, VISA, PXI, etc.)

  • Data acquisition, measurement analysis, and reporting automation

  • Hardware bring-up, test planning, and failure reproduction
