Company mission
To help companies run AI workloads to run neural networks faster, cooler, and cost-effectively using at-memory computing.
Role
Who you are
- The successful candidate will build a deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the architecture, and of how features of the kernel library enable performant push-button compilations
- Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics or related degree
- Experienced in Python, C/C++ and SW design
- Demonstrated ability to work independently through challenging but tightly constrained problems
- Demonstrated ability to be a technical leader on projects with teammates or engineers from other teams
- Interest and ability to work with both high level architectural and very low-level technical details
- Experience with low-level and/or parallelization optimization, e.g. assembly language development, GPU shaders, SIMD, CUDA, AI inference accelerator kernels
Desirable
- Experience with spatial architectures / at-memory compute
- Knowledge of AI algorithms
- Strong mathematical skills
- Enjoy solving very complex problems (like doing IQ tests, solving tricky math problems)
What the job involves
- We are looking for best in class engineers to join our existing top-notch team
- When you join Untether AI, you will be part of a team that designs, develops and verifies the software that interacts with our chip, collaborating with our hardware engineers and with fellow software engineers in the process
- By creating software that fully realizes the capabilities of the hardware, you will help get AI inference to the general populace
- As part of this exceptional team, you are able to - and get excited by - identifying functional/performance bottlenecks and how to alleviate them in order to achieve scalable and reliable software
- You excel in an environment with complex software and hardware designs
- We are looking for an experienced Senior Kernel Engineer who can help build and optimize our SDK
- Our tools and libraries unlock industry-leading performance and power efficiency on our unique at-memory AI inference chips
- We enable customers to compile models directly to run on our architectures, and provide tools to analyze and optimize performance
- Efficient and flexible implementation of neural network compute kernels for our chip families
- Defining / Improving abstractions of our kernel library to accelerate kernel development
- Analysis and optimization of individual kernel performance and full-network implementation performance
- Work closely with our compiler and physical allocation teams to enable efficient implementations of networks through our push-button compile tool-flow
Our take
Increased use of AI, and the hardware requirements that come with it, have presented a challenge for traditional datacenter compute architectures. Untether AI was launched to help companies run their AI workloads much faster, smoother and without breaking their budget.
The company has developed a unique at-compute chip architecture for neural net inference that eliminates the data movement bottleneck that costs energy and performance in traditional architectures. By having the compute element directly adjacent to memory cells, it accelerates inference for diverse neural networks such as vision, natural language processing and recommendation engines.
With considerable funding at its back, Untether AI is committed to driving customer expansion and continues to develop its next-generation of chip and products, as well as expand its team and partnerships.
