About the Team
OpenAI’s Hardware organization develops AI-native silicon and system-level solutions for the unique demands of advanced AI workloads. The team is developing future generations of AI-native silicon and tightly integrated systems to power the next generation of frontier models. By co-designing chips.
About the Role
We’re looking for an RTL Design Engineer to help design and develop next-generation AI accelerator silicon. In this roleance requirements into efficient, scalable hardware designs.
You'll collaborate closely with silicon architects, hardware and software engineers, verification, and physical design teams to co-design hardware solutions optimized for demanding AI workloads. This is a hands-on engineering role with opportunities to influence architectural decisions, drive microarchitecture development, and own RTL design from early concept through implementation and integration.
We're particularly interested in engineers with experience in Network-on-Chip (NoC)ance data movement, though the role encompasses broader RTL design and hardware co-design challenges.
In this role, you will:
Design and implement high-performance RTL for next-generation AI accelerator silicon, from microarchitecture definition through implementation and integration.
Collaborate with architecture and software teams to translate system-level requirements into efficient hardware microarchitectures.
Drive hardware/software co-design efforts to optimize performance, power, area, and scalability for AI workloads.
Develop and optimize RTL for complex datapaths, control logic, interconnects, and other critical silicon subsystems.
Evaluate architectural and microarchitectural tradeoffs across bandwidth, latency, throughput, and resource utilization.
Partner with design verification and formal verification teams to ensure functional correctness, develop verification strategies, and debug complex design issues.
Work closely with physical design teams to optimize RTL for synthesis, timing closure, power, and area.
Contribute to architecture reviews, design specifications, and cross-functional discussions to influence future silicon designs.
Support block-level and SoC-level integrationance optimization.
You might thrive in this role if you:
Have strong hands-on experience with ASIC RTL design and microarchitecture development using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
Have experience designing and implementing complex digital hardware blocks, from architecture and specification through RTL development and verification.
Understand hardware architecture and microarchitecture tradeoffsance, power, area, latency, and throughput.
Have experience collaborating across architecture, software, verification, and physical design teams to develop optimized hardware solutions.
Can reason about complex hardware systemsance bottlenecks, and translate architectural requirements into efficient RTL implementations.
Have experience with synthesis, timing closure, and physical implementation considerations.
Enjoy working on ambiguous, technically challenging problems and taking ownership of designs from concept through integration.
Bring experience with Network-on-Chip (NoC), networking, interconnect fabrics, packet-based architectures, or high-bandwidth data movement systems.
Experience with AI acceleratorsance computing, or hardware/software co-design is a plus.
To comply with U.S. export control laws and regulations, candidates for this role may need to meet certain legal status requirements as provided in those laws and regulations.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in NOC engineer jobs.
- Experience with network monitoring tools and SNMP-based alerting platforms
- Proficiency in incident ticketing systems and escalation workflows
- CompTIA Network+ or CCNA certification preferred or required
- Ability to work rotating shifts including nights, weekends, and holidays
- Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing protocols, and WAN/LAN fundamentals
- Associate or bachelor's degree in information technology, networking, or a related field
Tips for Your NOC Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to NOC tools
List the specific monitoring and ticketing platforms you've used, such as network management systems, SNMP tools, and alerting dashboards. Generic IT resume language won't tell a hiring manager you can hit the ground running on day one in a NOC environment.
Highlight shift coverage and on-call experience
Many NOC roles run 24/7 operations. If you've worked nights, weekends, or rotating shifts, call that out explicitly. Hiring managers screening for coverage gaps will filter out resumes that don't address it.
Filter openings by escalation tier level
NOC job titles don't always reflect seniority consistently. When scanning listings, read the escalation responsibilities, not just the title. Tier 1 roles focus on triage and ticketing, while Tier 2 and Tier 3 require deeper troubleshooting and vendor coordination.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists noc engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for scenario-based technical interviews
NOC interviews often walk you through a simulated outage or alert scenario. Practice narrating your troubleshooting logic out loud, from initial triage through escalation decisions, so the interviewer can follow your process even when the technical steps are routine.
Negotiate scheduling terms alongside compensation
In NOC roles, shift differential pay, overtime policies, and on-call rotation frequency are as important as base salary. Ask about these in the offer stage, not after you accept, since they directly affect your total earnings and work-life balance.
NOC Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most noc engineers?
The most active employers for noc engineers right now are TikTok, AMD, and V2X, and the most openings are in California, Virginia, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Telecommunications carriers and managed service providers consistently account for a large share of open roles.
How many noc engineer jobs are remote?
About 55% of noc engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies significantly by employer type. Monitoring and documentation-heavy roles tend to have the most remote flexibility, while positions involving hands-on hardware response or on-site escalation are typically required to be on premises.
How do you become a noc engineer?
Start by building foundational networking knowledge through coursework or self-study, then earn an entry-level certification such as CompTIA Network+ or CCNA to validate your skills to employers. Hands-on experience matters more than credentials alone, so look for help desk or IT support roles that expose you to ticketing systems and network troubleshooting. From there, a Tier 1 NOC analyst position is a natural step into the role.
Can I get hired as a noc engineer with little experience?
Yes, many employers hire entry-level noc engineers from help desk or IT support backgrounds without requiring dedicated NOC experience. Focus on demonstrating familiarity with network concepts, alerting tools, and incident documentation. A current certification like CompTIA Network+ signals readiness, and applying to Tier 1 analyst openings at managed service providers is often the fastest path in.
What does the noc engineer interview process look like?
Most noc engineer interviews involve an initial screening call focused on your shift availability and general networking background, followed by a technical round where you walk through troubleshooting scenarios or simulated alert situations. Some employers add a brief practical assessment covering protocol knowledge or tool familiarity. Final rounds typically involve a conversation with a team lead or operations manager about escalation judgment and communication style.
Where can I find and apply to noc engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to noc engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and shift preferences, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
