Computer Architect

Efficient is developing the world’s most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor. Efficient’s patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform’s unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution If you are a Computer Architect who wants to impact the transformation of the next evolution of computing, we would like to talk to you. Efficient is hiring an Computer Architect with experience in design-space exploration across the hardware-software interface. We seek individuals who are comfortable designing and executing experiments and interpreting and visualizing data. This is a unique opportunity to get in at the ground level and have influence on our products as we move from initial stages of product development to market release and scaled volume production. Join our team and help us shape the future of computing at the edge and beyond! Key Responsibilities • Work with Compiler and Digital Design teams to define the hardware-software interface for Efficient’s Fabric architecture. • Work with Applications and Embedded teams to analyze the performance and efficiency of key applications on the Fabric and competing architectures. • Build simulation infrastructure to quickly and accurately model the performance of the Fabric. • Build visualization dashboard infrastructure to continuously monitor the performance and efficiency of the Fabric architecture. • Design & execute experiments to perform a design-space exploration of the Fabric architecture and optimize it for key applications. • Collect and analyze data from design-space explorations. • Write internal reports, white papers, and research publications on the Fabric architecture.
