Full-Time
Lightmatter builds chips that enable extreme-scale artificial intelligence computing clusters. If you're a collaborative engineer or scientist who has a passion for innovation, solving challenging technical problems and doing impactful work like building the world's first optical computers, consider joining the team at Lightmatter!

In this role, you will be defining the SoC architecture for a ground-breaking platform that integrates our high performance silicon-photonics-based network fabric with a custom machine learning accelerator. You will also work closely with our software, hardware and photonics teams to define and optimize the features needed to accelerate the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

The SoC Architect will create a blueprint for a Passage-first compute solution. This cross-disciplinary project brings together our experts in Software, Photonics, Systems, Packaging, Networking, and SoC Design to solve key design challenges in building computing solutions with Passage across servers and racks.

Responsibilities

Define the SoC architecture for Lightmatter's next-gen product

Author, review, and validate architectural specifications

Actively collaborate with the hardware and software teams to perform trade-off analysis between power and performance for AI workloads on the proposed architecture

With other architects, engage in problem solving and contributing with novel architectural ideas

Requirements

PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering +8 years of industry experience, or MS degree +12 years of industry experience

8+ years of experience in compute ASIC architecture with an emphasis on low-power design

5+ years of experience with processor design, accelerators, networks, and/or memory hierarchies

Previous experience leading and collaborating in a cross-disciplinary team in a variety of fields

Previous experience in a fast-paced (startup) environment, with the ability to react to change

Experience influencing decisions in a matrix environment

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in leading a low-power architecture project from start to commercial volume chip production in an advanced node

Experience in post-silicon measurement with the goal of correlating with pre-silicon power forecast

Demonstrated technical innovations with impact on AI or high-performance computing

Demonstrated strong problem-solving skills in problems that do not have obvious solutions

Benefits

Comprehensive Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)

401k matching

Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)

Generous Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)

Paid Family Leave

Short Term & Long Term Disability

Training & Development

Flexible, hybrid workplace model

Stock Option Plan
