About the role
Own compute hardware architecture and development, from component selection and schematic design through PCB layout, validation, and deployment. Design and integrate high-speed interfaces—including PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, MIPI, USB, and DisplayPort—balancing bandwidth, connectivity, power, and signal integrity. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience designing around AI inference SoCs or accelerators, including their power, memory, and communication architectures
- Familiarity with how AI inference workloads map to silicon capabilities, including compute throughput (TOPS), DRAM bandwidth and capacity, and how workload requirements and DRAM technology choices affect achievable performance and performance per watt
- Experience bringing compute hardware into production and resolving fabrication, assembly, or test issues with manufacturing partners
More about this role
Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives.
About the Role
We’re looking for an Electrical Engineer to develop the AI inference compute systems that power OpenAI’s humanoid robots. This role combines compute architecture, high-speed digital design, onboard power electronics, and compact HDI PCB development.
We’re looking for a self-driven engineer who takes ownership from concept through deployment. Above all, you should enjoy hands-on engineering: bringing up boards, characterizing interfaces, and tracking challenging failures to their root cause.
