About The Position

About the Team The Scaling team works on the design of our AI supercomputers, doing everything from workload modeling to influencing accelerator design. We’re leaning into our partnerships to make system and data center co-design an integral part of this process, and are looking for engineers to design AI supercomputers solutions for data center applications This team will be responsible for working with partners to optimize their hardware for our workloads, identifying promising new deep learning accelerators, and bringing those hardware platforms to production. If you’re excited to work at the intersection of cutting edge deep learning, hardware system, and data center design this role is for you! About the Role We’re looking for electrical design engineers who have a deep expertise in the electrical or electronic design area, and hold strong system level design knowledge This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

Requirements

Have at least 10 years of industry experience, including experience designing hardware systems for data center applications - experience in designing EE circuit, CPU/GPU/TPU hw system design, board bring up, system design, integration, and system bring up.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
Have a strong bias toward action, and won’t take no for an answer.
Have experience and good knowledge of system design experience in the mechanical and product design areas, from xPUs, board, rack level to data center level
Have a strong intrinsic desire to learn and fill in missing skills; and an equally strong talent for sharing that information clearly and concisely with others.
Are comfortable with ambiguity and rapidly changing conditions.
