Role Summary
Southeastern Cyber LLC is seeking a Digital Design / Toolchain Engineer to extend our proprietary toolchains and pipelines. The engineer will integrate various policies into an automated flow for system and hardware design.
Responsibilities
- Develop and extend EDA/RTL compilation tools and scripts (Python, C++, and/or Rust).
- Map quantified requirements into physical standard-cell routing and logic structures.
- Run synthesis, place-and-route, and area/power/timing (PPA) estimates to sweep architectural scaling limits (max model parameter count, max whitelist/blacklist size).
- Interface with the Principal Investigator and Hardware SME to ensure correct RTL generation and physical implementation.
Required Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
- Demonstrated expertise in EDA toolchains, RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL), and digital logic synthesis.
- Strong scripting and automation skills for EDA flows.
- US Person (Citizen or Permanent Resident) eligible to work on defense-related technology.
Flexible work from home options available.
Who We Are
Southeastern Cyber, LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Lincolnton, Georgia. We are a hardware security and AI silicon product company building the systems that the nation depends on — from weapon platforms to critical infrastructure. Our mission is to deliver hardware-rooted security and deterministic AI inference capabilities that survive full-stack compromises and operate reliably in the most demanding environments.
Recognition & Engagement
Our applied engineering and product development efforts are supported by and aligned with key federal and academic partners. We actively engage with:
- NVIDIA Inception: Member of NVIDIA's program supporting startups advancing AI and accelerated computing
- Federal Partners: Critical DoD programs and federal research agencies
- Academic Research: Leading academic institutions specializing in hardware security
How We Think
Every system we build follows the same engineering philosophy: express everything as code, automate everything that can be automated, and bake security in from the architecture level rather than treating it as a software layer after the fact. Hardware validation, verifiable deployments, and immutable logic gates — these aren't buzzwords for us, they're how we actually ship systems. Every project carries full integration for rigorous testing, secure manufacturing, and trusted execution.
