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. Full-time onsite position.
Chief Systems Engineer
Exempt
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Systems Engineer to own the quantitative, end-to-end performance model of our optical vector-matrix multiplication (OVMM) engine. This role is the technical center of Systems Engineering's performance-modeling focus area: you will lead the end-to-end modeling, analysis, and architectural definition of high-speed communication and signal-processing systems.
In this role, you will build and maintain the link and power budgets; quantify impairments and non-idealities across the optical, analog, and digital domains; develop mathematical and behavioral models; define the hardware and algorithmic techniques required to meet aggressive system-level performance targets; and determine how accuracy, throughput, and power trade against one another as the architecture evolves.
You will spend the bulk of your time running system-level simulations, translating them into defensible allocations that the rest of the organization can design against. If you have deep communication-theory and signal-processing intuition, are fluent turning a signal chain into a quantitative model, and want to be the person who can answer "where does the system actually lose its margin," this role will let you define the performance envelope of a first-of-its-kind computing platform.
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.
