Pay:
$120,000-$275,000/yr
Job type:
Full Time

MatX is seeking engineers with

strong Haskell skills

to join our team as we create best‑in‑class silicon for high‑performance and sustainable GenAI. The successful candidate for this role will be responsible for delivering performant silicon RTL at the full‑chip or subsystem level.

You will write hardware in

Bluespec , a hardware description language rooted in Haskell's type system and semantics. If you've ever wished you could design hardware with the composability and correctness guarantees of a modern functional language, this is the role for you.

You do not need prior hardware experience to apply — if you know Haskell, we will teach you the hardware side.

What You'll Do Here

Build production hardware for compute, memory management, and high‑speed connectivity

Develop reusable, parameterized Bluespec libraries that scale across the chip

Shape hardware architecture by leveraging the power of Bluespec to explore implementation tradeoffs and converge on the best designs

Create innovative tooling for our hardware/software ecosystem to help us build correct, high‑performance hardware faster

Who You Are

Proficient in

Haskell

— you’re comfortable with monads, typeclasses, higher‑order functions, and do‑notation. You understand why return injects a value into a monadic context and what

Strongly willing to quickly ramp on

Bluespec Haskell (BH)

Strong engineering fundamentals — you write clean, well‑tested, well‑documented code and are comfortable with build systems, version control, and CI workflows

Bonus Points If You Have

Existing experience with Bluespec.

Prior hardware design experience — ASIC or FPGA. If you already understand clock domains, pipelining, state machines, synthesis, and timing closure, that’s a significant advantage.

Production Rust experience. If you know Haskell, Rust is easy, but if you’ve already used it on something real, that’s a head start.

The US base salary for this full‑time position is determined based on a variety of factors including role, experience, location, job‑related skills, and relevant education and training.
