Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric, delivering high bandwidth and ultra-low latency at significantly lower power consumption. Our architecture represents a foundational shift in how next-generation AI hardware is built.
Position: Technical Advisor / Principal Architect
We are seeking a Technical Advisor / Principal Architect to collaborate closely with the CTO in the conception, modeling, and development of groundbreaking communication and interconnect technologies. This role is a unique opportunity for an engineer who excels at the intersection of theory, architecture, and silicon implementation — someone eager to help shape the future of chip-to-chip, die-to-die, memory, and networking interconnects.
Role Overview:
You will work hand-in-hand with the CTO to explore, evaluate, and prototype next-generation communication system architectures. This multidisciplinary role encompasses research, modeling, algorithm development, system architecture, and early-stage silicon feasibility. You will play a pivotal role in translating theoretical concepts into implementable designs that can scale into real products.
What You Will Do:
- Collaborate with the CTO to develop next-generation communication and interconnect architectures.
- Examine novel signaling, coding, equalization, and system-level techniques.
- Develop models, simulations, and prototypes to validate architectural concepts.
- Evaluate performance, power, latency, area, and manufacturability trade-offs.
- Transform research into silicon-ready architectures and intellectual property.
- Identify emerging technologies and opportunities for competitive differentiation.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance across research, architecture, and product teams.
Required Qualifications:
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
- Strong background in digital communications and communication system fundamentals.
- Deep understanding of information theory, coding, modulation, and signal processing.
- Experience in building mathematical models, simulations, or prototypes.
- Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar environments.
- Ability to work across abstraction levels—from theory to architecture to implementation.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable navigating unfamiliar domains.
Highly Desirable Experience:
- SerDes architecture, equalization, or wireline communications.
- Coding theory, FEC, or advanced modulation schemes.
- System-level modeling (SystemC or equivalent).
- Machine learning applied to communications.
- Experience taking concepts from theory to silicon.
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role:
The ideal candidate:
- Moves fluidly between mathematics, algorithms, architecture, and hardware.
- Is willing to be hands-on when needed, engaging in analysis, modeling, coding, simulation, debugging, or lab work to propel critical projects forward.
- Is intellectually curious and thrives on open-ended technical challenges.
- Questions assumptions and proposes unconventional approaches when necessary.
- Understands that elegant theory must ultimately translate into manufacturable silicon.
