NPU Architect

In this role you'll be responsible to design the next iteration of SEMRON's 3D in-memory compute chip. You will collaborate with a team of hardware, compiler and ML engineers to optimise all aspects of executing ML workloads based on our capacitive analog in-memory matrix-vector multiplication units. Design and specify the structure and internal organisation of core architecture modules, aligned with workload requirements and software deployment processes.

Partner with the software team to evaluate module performance and efficiency for key workloads, uncover performance constraints, and inform architectural choices. Monitor emerging trends and research in AI workloads, hardware architectures, and applications to guide the evolution of next-generation architectures. BS/MS/PhD in EE, CS, or a related field Understanding in computer architecture, digital design, and micro-architecture concepts Familiarity with AI/ML algorithms, frameworks, and workloads Programming experience in C/C++ and Python Hands-On Experience with ML Hardware Exploration Frameworks like Timeloop, ZigZag, etc.

Hands-On Experience with HDLs such as Verilog or System Verilog
