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 staff-level modeling architect to build the path from a production model or application to two things: a performance and energy number Neurophos will stand behind, and a functional model that software can boot against before tape-out.
The T100 architecture is still moving, and the workloads are the models the industry is publishing now, so this is hardware/software co-design in practice. You will bind a workload to the programming model and runtime, run it on the model stack, and feed the result back into decisions on tiling, instruction set architecture (ISA), memory hierarchy, and multi-chip mapping. The team works between the principal architects, the RTL and physical design groups, and the compiler and runtime teams.
At this level, you own a workload or block area along with the methodology behind it, and you mentor the engineers building models in that area.
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.
100% coverage of base health plan premiums for you and your dependents, plus HSA contributions.
Unlimited PTO. No rigid vacation banks, just a focus on delivery.
