- The AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) Computing Lab is dedicated to solving the complex system-level challenges posed by the growing demands of future AI/ML workloads.
- Our team is committed to designing and developing scalable platforms that can effectively handle the computational and memory requirements of these workloads while minimizing energy consumption and maximizing performance.
- To achieve this goal, we collaborate closely with both hardware and software engineers to identify and address the unique challenges posed by AI/ML workloads and to explore new computing abstractions that can provide a better balance between the hardware and software components of our systems.
- Additionally, we continuously conduct research and development in emerging technologies and trends across memory, computing, interconnect, and AI/ML, ensuring that our platforms are always equipped to handle the most demanding workloads of the future.
- By working together as a dedicated and passionate team, we aim to revolutionize the way AI/ML applications are deployed and executed, ultimately contributing to the advancement of AGI in an affordable and sustainable manner.
- Join us in our passion to shape the future of computing!
- Location: Daily onsite presence at our San Jose, CA office / U.S. headquarters in alignment with our Flexible Work policy.
- Build, bring up, and maintain large-scale hardware emulation and FPGA prototyping platforms for memory-centric computing SoCs, enabling pre-silicon hardware and software validation.
- Partition and map complex multi-million-gate designs onto emulation systems and multi-FPGA prototypes, optimizing for capacity, run-time performance, and debug visibility.
- Develop transactors, speed bridges, and co-emulation (SCE-MI) environments that connect the design under test to host software and virtual or physical interfaces.
- Model memory subsystems, clock and reset schemes, and high-speed I/O interfaces for accurate, high-throughput emulation and prototyping.
- Enable early firmware, driver, and software bring-up by delivering stable emulation and prototype targets with robust debug infrastructure.
- Run AI/ML workloads and performance benchmarks pre-silicon to validate functionality and system-level performance.
- Debug complex hardware and software issues using waveform capture, assertions, and coverage, driving root-cause analysis together with design, verification, and software teams.
- Make trade-offs between emulation and prototyping — capacity, speed, bring-up time, and debug — to select the right platform for each project milestone.
- Develop and automate emulation and prototyping flows (compile, partitioning, and build) using scripting and agentic AI tools and frameworks to improve turnaround time and quality of results.
- Communicate effectively with stakeholders, including users, partners, and management, to ensure that designs are delivered on time and within budget.
What You'll Do
- Bachelor’s with 5+ years, or Master’s with 3+ years, or PhD's with 0+ years of industry experience.
- Strong background in pre-silicon verification, validation, and SoC bring-up.
- 5+ years of experience in both FPGA prototyping and large-scale hardware emulation of complex ASIC/SoC designs.
- Hands-on experience with large-scale emulation platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, or Siemens Veloce.
- Hands-on experience with FPGA prototyping platforms such as Synopsys HAPS or Cadence Protium, including multi-FPGA design partitioning and timing closure.
- Experience with transactors, co-emulation (SCE-MI), speed bridges, and standard interface protocols such as PCIe, DDR/HBM, AXI/CHI, or Ethernet.
- Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and in design bring-up, clocking, reset, and memory modeling for emulation and prototyping.
- Proficiency in scripting (Tcl, Python, or Perl) for emulation and prototyping flow automation; familiarity with agentic AI tools and frameworks is a plus.
- Experience running AI/ML workloads or system-level software pre-silicon.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
