Anthropic Seeks RL Chip Design Engineer, Signaling AI-in-the-Loop Silicon Strategy

Anthropic has posted a "Research Engineer, Chip Design RL" role in San Francisco and New York, signaling plans to apply reinforcement learning to custom silicon design. Google used RL-based floorplanning to surpass human-designed TPU layouts; Anthropic may apply its own models similarly. Samsung is under consideration as a fabrication partner, per The Information. No chip design is committed.
