At Exa, we’re building the next NVIDIA. Our novel polymorphic chips are a generation ahead of anything on the market. **We’re essentially building the substrate that will power all future knowledge and scientific discovery.**
**Our XPU chips are state-of-the-art AI compute engines** capable of reconfiguring themselves to optimize the dataflow of each model (training & inference!) to be fast and efficient enough to support **_AGI_**, and eventually **_ASI_**, without requiring massive power infrastructure. Through our **novel polymorphic architecture**, we’re achieving **unprecedented performance gains over current SOTA GPUs** while dramatically reducing energy consumption.
The team consists of exceptional engineers **obsessed** with pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in computing and AI, **and we’re now seeking our next founding engineer.**
### **You Are**
* **Ready to go all-in and do the work of your life**
* **Willing to be hardcore when pushing technical boundaries**
* A technical powerhouse who loves working across the hardware-software boundary
* Deeply **passionate** and **obsessed** with computing and AI
* Hungry to build something that actually matters
### **Ideal Background**
* Recent or upcoming graduate in **Electrical Engineering**, **Computer Engineering**, _or equivalent field_
* **Experience with semiconductor physical design (PD) and chip tapeout through research/projects**
* **Strong foundation in digital design, VLSI, and RTL**
* Exposure to (Sci)ML frameworks (e.g., [PyTorch](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch)/[TinyGrad](https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad)/[JAX](https://github.com/jax-ml/jax)/[Lux.jl](https://github.com/LuxDL/Lux.jl))
* Experience with systems programming:
* Firmware development
* Linux kernel modules and device drivers
* Low-level hardware interfaces
### **Huge Plus If**
* Autodidactic polymath
* Strong mathematical background
* Someone who doesn’t fret when faced with near-impossible technical challenges
### **The Opportunity**
