About Silimate

Silimate is the copilot for chip designers.

Chip teams today are still using the same archaic workflows from 30 years ago, resulting in lengthy 12-18 month design cycles and the inability to ship chips fast enough to keep up with the software pointer.

We're changing that at Silimate.

Our chip design copilot is helping chip designers write correct, PPA-optimized RTL code from the onset, and build better chips in less time. We're building a catalytic tool for the chip industry.

We're well-funded by top investors and are generating revenue with customers that are world-class chip and IP design companies. We're growing fast — demand for Silimate has outpaced our ability to build and ship the product. We're looking for talented engineers that are passionate about the semiconductor chip space to join us.
