chipai was built around one idea: front-end and back-end design shouldn't be two separate vendors reading the same spec differently. One team, one flow, fewer surprises at tape-out.
Every engagement starts with an engineer reading your spec, not an account manager reading your budget. We scope what the work actually requires — one stage, a few, or the full RTL-to-GDSII flow — and staff it with people who've closed that exact kind of design before.
We report against real milestones: lint-clean RTL, coverage closure, DRC/LVS clean, STA sign-off — not vague percentage-complete updates.
Engagements span 28nm mature nodes through advanced sub-10nm nodes, across digital, analog and mixed-signal designs.
Fabless semiconductor companies, IDMs, and product teams who need design engineering capacity without growing an internal team from scratch.
We read your architecture spec or existing RTL/netlist and define exactly which stages need us, and what "done" looks like for each.
We assign engineers with direct experience at your node and design type — not a generalist pool.
Work is broken into checkable milestones — lint clean, coverage targets, DRC/LVS clean — with weekly status against each.
Internal design and verification reviews happen before anything reaches you, so review cycles on your side stay short.
You receive the deliverable plus the documentation your team needs to act on it immediately — no reverse-engineering our work.
A stage isn't "done" until it passes the same checks that would gate your own tape-out — not before.
We implement what the spec says, and flag it clearly when the spec and the silicon reality disagree.
If a milestone is going to slip, you hear it the week it becomes likely — not the week it happens.
Every handoff includes the notes and reports your team needs to pick the work up without a briefing call.
Share your spec or current design stage and we'll walk you through what an engagement would look like.
