  • Excellent leadership, communication, team building and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to coordinate across multiple projects, manage risks and escalations, and work under tight schedules and budget constraints
  • Strong knowledge across the full ASIC/SOC development cycle from microarchitecture development to tape-out in advanced process technologies
  • Outstanding technical expertise in microarchitecture development, RTL coding (Verilog/SystemVerilog), synthesis, STA/timing closure, physical design, and verification methodologies
More about this role

The biggest bottleneck in AI systems today is memory. Chips compute faster than they can be fed data—a problem known as the memory wall—and Netpreme is building the solution that allows AI memory to scale independently of AI compute. Our approach spans the full stack, from a proprietary memory management framework at the XPU kernel and OS levels to X-Mem™, the world’s first Memory Processing Unit (MPU) silicon. Founded by MIT researchers at the intersection of optical networking, ML systems, and GPU kernel optimization, we’re based in Cambridge, MA, and Santa Clara, CA. We’re looking for people who want to own hard problems end to end—and help shape the next generation of AI systems.
