Efficient Computer builds the world's most energy-efficient general-purpose AI chips, delivering up to 100× better efficiency than low-power CPUs. Backed by USV.
About the role
This is our first dedicated finance hire. You will own finance and accounting end to end, working with the right third parties where that makes sense, and shape the function into one that is ready for the scale ahead of us. How that gets built is largely yours to define, and as the company grows, so does this function and the team behind it.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in finance and accounting, including ownership of both a close and a forecast
- Experience doing this in a capital-intensive business, whether semiconductor or another industry where large commitments are made long before revenue and cash planning has to run years out
- Time in a fast-moving startup, ideally as an early or first finance hire, and comfort operating without a finance team behind you
- A track record of maturing a finance function: taking something scrappy and making it rigorous without slowing the company down
- Clear communication with people who do not think in accounting terms, including engineers, executives, and the board
- Comfort being hands on. For a while you will be doing the work, not directing it
More about this role
Efficient is developing the world’s most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor. Efficient’s patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform’s unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution
Computing's growth is limited by energy. Efficient Computer, a fabless semiconductor company spun out of Carnegie Mellon University, exists to change that. We build general-purpose processors that run the same workloads as a CPU or GPU on a small fraction of the energy, which makes real computing possible in places where power and battery life have always been the limiting factor. We have taped out multiple test chips, our first production chip is back from the foundry, and we will be shipping to customers soon. Those customers are building everything from industrial and automation...
