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
Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- B.S. in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent, M.S. a plus
- 7+ years of systems software experience, including significant hands-on Linux user-mode driver as well as language runtime library development for accelerators (GPUs, NPUs, DSPs, FPGAs, or similar)
- Experience building or contributing to a production accelerator runtime software stack, from the driver API up through the user-facing runtime library
- Solid understanding of accelerator memory models, in particular unified memory systems, allocators, and zero-copy data paths
- Experience designing public APIs exposed by runtime libraries: ABI stability, versioning, error models, thread safety, and documentation
- Experience working with compiler teams on binary formats, loaders, launch ABIs, and kernel metadata, for ahead-of-time or just-in-time compilation

Efficient Computer is rethinking computing from the ground up to solve one of AI's biggest challenges: energy. Our Fabric architecture delivers a 10–100x improvement in energy efficiency for general-purpose computation, including AI, while supporting familiar programming languages and software frameworks—unlocking new possibilities for autonomous machines, intelligent infrastructure, wearables, and space systems. With our first processor, Electron E1, now shipping in volume and more than $97 million in Series B financing recently announced, we're accelerating customer deployments and scaling our architecture to data center performance. Join us to build the hardware and software that bring intelligence wherever it's needed and help shape the next generation of computing.
Efficient Computer is building the next generation of energy efficient, general-purpose processors designed around the Fabric architecture, a novel spatial dataflow design spun out from decades of fundamental SOC research at CMU.
We are looking for a Senior Staff Linux Runtime Software Engineer to own the user-mode components that interface with the Fabric and support the effcc compiler. This includes owning the...
