Arago is a semiconductor and AI hardware company building custom accelerators at the intersection of photonics and traditional silicon. The tech stack reveals a full-stack hardware design operation: Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL, Cadence tools for physical design and verification, RISC-V and custom tensor units for compute, and a software layer spanning PyTorch, CUDA, LLVM/MLIR, and distributed systems primitives (MPI, NCCL). Active projects span post-silicon validation, optical chip verification, and multi-node clustering protocols—indicating a move from single-device prototypes toward production-scale systems. Engineering-heavy hiring (19 of 21 roles) skews senior and mid-level, typical of deeptech hardware companies navigating the gap between architecture and manufacturable silicon.
