Company Overview

Primemas is an early-stage semiconductor company headquartered in the U.S., with an R&D center located in Seoul, Korea. We specialize in designing and developing hub SoC chiplets, which are poised to accelerate computational system development and provide an unprecedented reduction in their production costs. By employing industry-standard high-performance die-to-die interfaces, we support seamless integration with a broad spectrum of application-specific chiplets and ensure applicability across mainstream technological markets, including AI, CXL, data analytics, and more.

At our core, we value innovation and collaboration and are working towards lowering the barrier to faster, cheaper, and more efficient technological development. We are currently growing our team and are looking for talented and motivated individuals of various levels of experience.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Design Engineer who will take part in the AMBA-based SoC design for Primemas hub SoC chiplets. In this role, you will be responsible for designing digital IPs and high-speed interface subsystems, as well as performing the top-level SoC integration for the hub chiplets. As a Design Engineer, you will also work closely with the Verification, Synthesis/DFT, and FPGA design teams on establishing requirements and optimizing specifications for the current and future generations of our hub chiplet products.
