From Neurophos's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
The demand for new data centers and AI compute is rapidly outpacing the planet's energy capacity. Digital solutions are hitting a power wall as we approach the physical limits of traditional silicon. Conquering this bottleneck means rethinking the fundamental architecture of inference compute. The industry's current path can't meet the need, so we're taking a different approach.
Instead of traditional electronic circuits, we use silicon photonics and an active, programmable metasurface to perform matrix multiplications at the speed of light. Our optical cells are 10,000x smaller than traditional photonic components, enabling unprecedented density. By using photonics instead of electricity, our chips become more efficient as they scale. This architecture will deliver up to 100 times the energy efficiency of existing solutions while significantly improving performance for large-scale AI inference.
We’ve assembled a world-class team of industry veterans and recently raised a $110M Series A led by Gates Frontier. Participants include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and others.
Join us and shape the future of computing!
Austin, TX or Sunnyvale, CA. Full-time onsite position.
Reports To : Sr. Director of Modeling
FLSA Status
: Exempt
Position Overview
We are seeking a performance engineer to own the benchmarking numbers behind the T100 optical inference accelerator. Architecture and product decisions here are made on measured performance and energy, and this role produces those figures for the same workloads at every level of fidelity we use: roofline and limiter analysis, architecture performance models, in-house RTL simulation, and measured runs on competing GPUs and accelerators.
You will join the Architecture and Modeling team, set the measurement methodology, and keep it current as models, software stacks, drivers, and hardware generations turn over. Every result ships with the harness, config, plots, logs, and assumptions behind it, so anyone can rerun it and see how the number was reached.
This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in an innovative startup redefining the future of AI hardware. Work on game-changing technology at the intersection of photonics and AI as part of a collaborative, brilliant team. You’ll contribute to a platform that redefines computational performance and accelerates the future of artificial intelligence. Come help us bring this transformative technology to the world.
