lowRISC https://lowrisc.org | Non-profit | Cambridge, UK | Zurich, Switzerland | Design Verification Engineers | Infrastructure Engineer | HYBRID | Full time
lowRISC's mission is to bring open source silicon to the hardware world and see it shipping in volume in commercial applications. We want to see open source silicon occupy a similar position to open source software (e.g. look at Linux, it's the default choice in many applications, we'd like open source silicon to be used for similar foundational technologies in the hardware world).
Our major project focus is OpenTitan: https://github.com/lowRISC/opentitan it’s a silicon root of trust being built and funded by a collaboration of major companies, such as Google, Western Digital, Seagate, Winbond and Rivos amongst others. lowRISC stewards the project as well as performing a significant proportion of the engineering work.
We’ve just announced the RTL freeze for the first OpenTitan tapeout, a discrete chip, named Earl Grey: https://lowrisc.org/blog/2023/06/opentitans-rtl-freeze-lever...
We’re looking for verification and infrastructure engineers to join us. We work in System Verilog and use UVM, though plan to expand our use of formal verification. We’re also keen to explore new innovative ways to verify designs.
A key responsibility for lowRISC is maintaining the CI and regression infrastructure for OpenTitan. This is a complex system running many different tools across different machines (both cloud and on-site) and involves FPGAs and custom hardware. We use ansible and terraform to manage it all. We’re seeking an infrastructure engineer to maintain and scale the system as well as architect and build new facets of it.
lowRISC is headquartered in Cambridge, UK and we have an office in Zürich, Switzerland. We utilize a hybrid working model.
We offer competitive salaries (see job ads for ranges) and a generous pension (12.5% employer contribution in the UK), you can find our individual job postings here: https://lowrisc.applytojob.com/apply/

Isaac Online Education, University of Cambridge | Research Assistant - EdTech Software Engineer | Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Onsite / Hybrid (UK) | https://isaacphysics.org & https://adacomputerscience.org
We are looking for a full-time Research Assistant (~recent graduate) to work as a Software Engineer on Isaac Online Education, a collaborative venture between the University of Cambridge and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The role involves designing, building and running an online platform to teach STEM subjects. The platform is free and the tech is open-source, used by schools across the world but particularly the UK, and is now a core part of the University of Cambridge's STEM SMART outreach program. At peak times we receive over 1.25 million question attempts per week.
You'll be joining a small team at the Department for Computer Science and Technology. Retention is high, but it has also been a great place for people to gain some experience before starting a PhD, joining a larger company or starting their own start-up.
Examples of some recent interesting projects are: - Looking into the use of LLMs to mark free-text questions. - Building a code editor to allow learners to run Python and SQL in the browser. - Adding a question type which assesses free-hand sketched graphs.
41 days holiday, additional paid teaching opportunities, working and interacting with people at the University who are the best in the world in their respective fields.
If using technology to improve education and learning outcomes is something you're passionate about, please do apply!
