Job description

About Us:

Mythic’s platform delivers the power of desktop GPU in a single low-power chip, supporting inference for large deep neural networks. Mythic's technology is based upon an entirely new hybrid digital/analog flash calculation using non-volatile memory arrays which has been under development since 2012. This step change in performance enables a range of new applications in many markets, including safety and security, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR, robotics, and media. Mythic’s AI hardware combines knowledge across many domains, including AI, compilers, computer architecture, analog circuits, and non-volatile memories. Mythic will enable the future of AI by building analog-compute hardware platforms that are 100-1000x more efficient than conventional all-digital systems.
