VP Applications Engineering – CPU & AI Infrastructure

 

A rare opportunity to help shape the future of CPU performance for AI. Join an ambitious stealth mode start-up who are developing a custom CPU designed to overcome the limitations of today’s processors.

This is a hands-on applications and performance engineering leadership role. You’ll work directly with the CTO and CPU team, analysing real-world AI workloads, profiling performance on existing silicon and translating the findings into architectural improvements.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and lead the applications engineering team whilst remaining hands-on
  • Analyse AI and data centre workloads to identify CPU performance bottlenecks
  • Benchmark workloads on existing silicon in the marketplace
  • Engage with leading AI labs, hyperscalers and infrastructure teams

Requirements:

  • Relevant technical degree, or equivalent, in electronic engineering
  • Strong understanding of CPU performance and data centre software stacks
  • Experience working with AI Labs and hyperscalers
  • Good knowledge of compilers a definite plus
