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 translate system-level requirements into cohesive architectures that balance power, performance, and scalability, guiding implementation teams toward next-generation platforms.

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

  • SoC or system architecture and performance modeling

  • Hardware/software co-design and cross-layer optimization

  • Interface definition, memory hierarchy, and interconnect design
