Descripción de la vacante

Positron AI is seeking a Principal ASIC Architect to define the future of AI inference hardware in the United States. You will lead architectural exploration across transformer models and advanced memory systems, collaborating with compiler, software, and ML research teams to align hardware with real workloads.

You will drive performance modeling, co-design with software and firmware, and help set the product roadmap for next‑generation accelerators.

Formación

• 15+ years of experience in ASIC architecture.
• Deep expertise in AI accelerator design and high-performance SoCs.
• Hands-on experience building performance models for memory systems and interconnects.
• Strong hardware/software co-design ability.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsabilidades

• Own architectural exploration across transformer models, MoE, sparse models, and long-context inference.
• Evaluate techniques including speculative decoding, continuous batching, KV-cache evolution, sub-quadratic and linear attention.
• Assess memory architectures, communication architectures, and interconnects for next-generation accelerators.
• Develop analytical models and build simulation frameworks to evaluate architectural tradeoffs.
• Partner closely with compiler, runtime, system software, firmware, ASIC engineering, and ML research teams.
• Define architecture documents and subsystem interfaces; guide the future product roadmap.
• Track new LLMs, models, papers, and competitors to keep Positron's architecture ahead of the field.
