Mythic designs custom AI processors using analog compute-in-memory silicon, with a software stack centered on PyTorch, ONNX, and compiler infrastructure (MLIR, LLVM, XLA). The engineering-heavy org (19 of 22 active roles) is focused on RTL design, firmware, and toolchain work—signaling that chip tape-out and software-hardware co-design remain the critical path. Hiring has decelerated recently despite active recruitment, and the pain-point mix (first-silicon success, timing closure, aggressive PPA goals) reflects the high-stakes nature of custom silicon verification and manufacturing.
Mythic, founded in 2012 and based in Austin, TX with an office in Redwood City, CA, develops a hardware-software platform for analog compute-in-memory AI processors. The company targets deployment across data centers and edge devices. The engineering organization is structured around chip design (RTL, DFT, verification), real-time firmware and kernel drivers, and compiler optimization for their analog architecture. Projects span neural network conversion pipelines, performance characterization in emulation, and unification of analog compute with digital subsystems. The technology stack reflects semiconductor and ML infrastructure maturity: Verilog/SystemVerilog for design, PyTorch/ONNX/Hugging Face for model interoperability, MLIR/LLVM for compilation, and simulation/verification tools (Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, UVM).
PyTorch, ONNX, Hugging Face, MLIR, LLVM, XLA, Verilog, SystemVerilog, Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, ARM, FPGA, and RTOS. The stack spans ML frameworks, hardware design, and compiler infrastructure.
