Senior Power Architect

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.  

Cerebras' current customers include global corporations across multiple industries, national labs, and top-tier healthcare systems. In January, we announced a multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership with Mayo Clinic, underscoring our commitment to transforming AI applications across various fields. In August, we launched Cerebras Inference, the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.

Cerebras is seeking an exceptional Power Architect to help us continue our innovation and leadership. We have developed a radically new chip and system to dramatically accelerate deep learning applications. The system was built from scratch. After fifty years of trials by multiple teams we are the first company to commercialize a wafer-level solution. The system runs training and inference workloads orders of magnitude faster than our competitors, fundamentally changing the way ML researchers work and pursue AI innovation. We are looking for a dreamer with a proven track record of innovation, the drive to champion the solution, and the stamina to see it all the way to production. We will do it again from scratch in our next generation. Do you want to be part of history?   Responsibilities:
-Lead early-stage system architecture exploration with a focus on power delivery
and thermal management.
-Drive innovation in vertical power delivery to the wafer, enabling ultra-high
current density solutions.
-Collaborate with internal product, VLSI, and systems teams to define and refine
detailed power specifications.
-Architect power delivery systems optimized for both electrical performance and
cooling efficiency.
-Evaluate and select optimal architectures and strategic partners/vendors for new
technology development.
-Oversee the full lifecycle of power delivery solutions—from concept through
