We think most of the progress in the AI field has come from using more FLOPs to train and run models and the best way to get more FLOPs is to build model-specific hardware. Larger and larger training runs encourage companies to consolidate around fewer model architectures which creates a market for single-model ASICs.We are a fully in-person team in West San Jose and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.Required Experience:Intern Key Skills Campaigns,Abinitio,AutoCAD 3D,Hardware & Networking,Customer Support,Arabic Employment Type : Full-Time Department / Functional Area: Operations Experience: years Vacancy: 1 Monthly Salary Salary: 24 - 30
