We are seeking an AI Compute Architect who will play a critical role in leading the architectural definition and early integration planning of disruptive µAI compute blocks (analog, neuromorphic, in-memory) into future ADI SoCs. You will benchmark and develop new state-of-the-art compute architectures for edge devices, translate advanced Edge AI functionality into analog, SNN, and heterogeneous compute designs, and implement detailed compute modeling in Python and SystemC to extract key performance indicators that guide architectural decisions. You will also support early RTL and analog prototyping of internal and third-party IPs and define robust IP interface specifications while working closely with analog and digital design teams to deliver industry-leading edge performance. Key Responsibilities - Benchmark and develop new state-of-the-art compute architectures specifically designed for efficient Edge AI deployment. - Translate advanced Edge AI intelligent functionality into µAI, analog, SNN, and heterogeneous compute architectures that deliver state-of-the-art performance on edge platforms. - Develop and implement compute modeling frameworks in Python and SystemC to extract critical KPIs such as latency, power, throughput, and memory utilization. - Support early RTL and analog prototyping of both internal and third-party IP blocks. - Define detailed IP interface specifications (e.g., AXI, NoC, DMA, memory subsystems) to ensure seamless integration across analog and digital design domains. - Coordinate closely with analog and digital design teams to validate architectural assumptions and interface requirements. - Contribute to the technical roadmap for next-generation Edge AI compute solutions and provide architectural guidance across cross-functional teams. Ideal Profile - Master’s or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - 7+ years of experience in hardware architecture design for compute-intensive applications, preferably in AI/ML or edge computing domains. - Proven experience with compute modeling and performance analysis using Python and SystemC. - Deep understanding of µAI architectures, heterogeneous compute, and system-level trade-offs for edge platforms. - Hands-on experience in analog compute, in-memory compute, and neuromorphic architectures is a strong advantage. - Strong knowledge of SoC design principles, including memory hierarchies, interconnects (AXI, NoC), DMA, and IP integration. - Hands-on experience supporting RTL design, simulation, and prototyping flows, as well as analog-mixed signal blocks. - Demonstrated ability to define and document clear IP interface specifications and coordinate with multi-disciplinary design teams. - Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for balancing power, performance, and area constraints. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a passion for building cutting-edge compute solutions in a fast-paced, innovative environment. -- *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** *********** Massimiliano Versace, PhD CEO, Neurala <http://www.neurala.com/> Inc.
