About Silimate

Silimate is the co-pilot 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 co-pilot 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 excellent engineers that are passionate about the semiconductor chip space to join us.
