Apply to this jobAbout 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
In this role, you’ll design and implement firmware that bridges AI-driven hardware with physical devices. You’ll work across bring-up, control, and diagnostics — enabling adaptive, self-optimizing behavior in real-time systems. Collaborate with electrical, systems, and verification engineers to develop embedded software that powers learning machines.
You might thrive if you have 5+ years of experience in
C/C++, RTOS, or bare-metal firmware development
Board bring-up, bootloaders, and driver development
Debug tools such as JTAG, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes
Control systems, sensor interfaces, or embedded ML
Summary
Design and implement firmware connecting AI hardware with physical devices and enabling self-optimizing systems.
