Frontier of ​On-device ​AI ​Semiconductors

for Everyone, ​Everywhere




Role Overview

Develop key ​components ​and core ​technologies that enable ​various (based-on-SOTA) ​AI ​models to ​run ​efficiently ​on NPUs.

Research ​NPU ​hardware architecture optimized ​for ​low ​power consumption and ​high performance.

□ ​Design ​data workloads ​that maximize ​energy ​efficiency of conventional ​NPUs.

Continuously ​evaluate and ensure alignment between user requirements and NPU specifications.

Conduct ongoing research and development on NPU hardware bottlenecks and breaking points.


Responsibilities

Explore, discuss, and determine NPU architectures that meet required specifications.

Collaborate with internal teams or customers to develop profiling tools tailored to specific needs.

Predict hardware-friendly performance quickly and accurately for neural networks using C++ or SystemC.

Work closely with deep learning, RTL, and compiler teams to design efficient engineering methodologies and NPU architectures.

Propose advanced NPU architectures based on new network analysis and consideration of system components.


Qualifications

Solid understanding of chip architecture, including CPU, memory, and bus systems

Proficiency in architecture-level modeling using SystemC

Experience in PPA (Power, Performance, Area) estimation

Strong ability to handle and analyze large-scale data

Effective communicator who engages actively with cross-functional teams


Preferred Qualifications

Over 10 years of experience (including graduate studies) in the field of chip architecture

Hands-on experience with various neural network frameworks and a strong interest in AI technologies

Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage tasks systematically
