ABOUT ARAGO
The demand for more intelligence continues to accelerate in every industry, application, and device. Yet, general-purpose processors, cannot take us much farther. To unlock the next breakthroughs, Arago is developing a processor that harnesses the unique physical properties of light to address both memory and computational limitations.
We are a team of AI engineers and physicists who believe in great science and fast achievements. We’re looking for bold jack-of-all-trades who love to ship products quickly.
Our team is driven by these core values:
Do great things : We’re going after a 10x, not 10%. It requires intensity, craftsmanship and great science
We move as one : Our relationships are built on trust and mutual admiration. We feel empowered and fortunate to collaborate with one another.
Keep looking ahead : Lasting technologies and impactful ventures are not built overnight. We take it one step at a time, with velocity.
OVERALL MISSION
Lead the development of the digital co-processor for Arago's AI accelerator system.
DESIRED SKILL SET
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture, or a related field.
Experience with architecting and designing ML accelerator hardware IP (GPU, TPU, NPU)
Experience in micro-architecture, power and performance optimization.
Experience collaborating cross-functionally with algorithm and software development teams.
Experience in machine learning algorithm, workloads analysis, performance/power evaluation, and architecture optimizations.
