Сhip EDA software has stagnated over the past several decades. The traditional heuristic tools have exceedingly long runtimes, and there’s a huge amount of grey area that has not been automatable. As a result, chip design has been massively time- and effort-intensive, on the order of 12-18 months per tapeout with hundreds of engineers required.
At Silimate, we’re building core engines that solve the speed problem, models that solve the grey area problem, and interfaces that make the design experience seamless.
In aggregate, we're building a copilot that helps chip designers easily understand the state of their design relative to their design intent, and make the right changes much faster than ever before.
Today, multiple SoC and IP companies – from chip unicorns to major enterprises – are using Silimate to design their chips. Our copilot helps their engineers leverage their time in the most valuable way: understanding and executing on design tradeoffs.
Silimate brings together expertise across chip design, EDA, AI, and full-stack software – from Apple, NVIDIA, Synopsys, AWS, Stanford, and more.
We care intensely about delivering value to our incredible customers, architecting our product from first principles, and iterating fast and relentlessly – and we do it together in-person in Mountain View, California.
How we think
and work
Silimate’s mission is to build the generational chip design copilot. To achieve that ambitious goal, we operate by the following set of values.
1.
Focus on users.
Get them value, make them happy.
2.
Architect from first principles.
Understand the problem, then do the right thing.
3.
Build only what matters.
Simplify to the minimal viable, then ship that.
4.
Iterate fast and relentlessly.
Ship fast, learn fast, repeat.
5.
Ship quality.
Write good code. Develop good product sense.
6.
No ego.
Collaborate with intellectual honesty, curiosity, and good intent.
Join us to build the
copilot for chip designers
Our mission is to enable the hardware pointer to dynamically keep up with the fast-evolving software pointer. We're building tools that enable unprecedented intuition and speed in chip design. Join us to push this frontier.
