Computing Software Architect (m/f/d)

Your mission

You will work with the Native Computing team to develop new architectures for Photonic Computing.

• Develop concepts and ideas for the photonic computing architecture
• In particular, take responsibility for the software side of the architecture
• Conduct literature reviews; understand and evaluate existing computing concepts and architectures
• Focus on the creative but physical aspect of the problem. Not on the engineering aspects of applications and software.

Your profile

• Very good understanding and extensive experience with modern AI software stacks, their underlying models and assumptions and associated hardware requirements
• At least a PhD on a relevant topic or work experience (post-doc, in a company, other R&D)
• Experience with concepts and designs of computing cores in CMOS or equivalent AND/OR good understanding of integrated photonic and nonlinear/electro-optical optics
• Quick thinking and creativity
• Knowledge of relevant work and literature
• Open to discussions, especially with experts in theory, software, and applications
• A strong network in academia and beyond is a plus
• Experience with analog circuit design is a plus
