The era of full stack chip designers


What are chip design teams going to look like in the future?

I also think writing good RTL is an art that takes time to master - unlike high level languages, HDLs are less intuitive, which makes it harder for back-end experts to pick up. Similarly, if LLM based RTL generation can be solved effectively, that allows a back-end designer to also manage front-end changes. (By the way, when I say smaller teams, I don’t necessarily think jobs are going away - on the contrary, I expect shorter design timelines, and a large variety of chips customized for different use cases.)
