Hardware Architect

Acceler8 Talent is seeking an experienced Hardware Architect to join a startup based in Santa Clara that is developing high-performance data center accelerators for the largest generative AI models.

As part of this dynamic team, the Hardware Architect will play a pivotal role in shaping the architecture for modern AI workloads and taking the chip from architectural spec all the way through to working silicon.

Responsibilities:

Deliver performant silicon architecture at the subsystem and full-chip level.

As the architecture is completed, contribute to shipping the product (SW/HW work on implementation, verification & validation).

Work closely with micro-architects, designers, physical designers, verification engineers and others during definition and execution phase of the chip projects to ensure that the above architecture descriptions are capable of being implemented in silicon.

Use SystemC models to simulate and validate architectural changes and optimize performance.

Qualifications:

MSEE or PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering with 10+ years silicon design and architecture.

Concept-to-silicon ownership in driving silicon architecture for key features at a subsystem and/or chip-level from an architecture specification to production silicon

Experience writing SystemVerilog, Python, C/C++, Rust, or Bluespec and similar scripting and programming languages for chip architecture and silicon design.

Track record of delivering innovative features and techniques in chips and systems related to ML, compute, networking, storage and related areas in shipping products

Experience with debugging architectural issues at silicon and system level with partner teams across: design, validation, system engineering, software and field support
