Neuromorphic Systems Architect

Responsibilities

• Formalize brain-derived computation using dynamical systems theory and translate these insights into hardware-relevant abstractions
• Architect novel neuromorphic or neuro-inspired hardware systems, including analog, mixed-signal, or in-memory computing
• Define system-level architecture, including memory models, communication schemes, and energy-efficient compute primitives
• Collaborate with neuroscience, signal processing, and machine learning teams to ensure tight coupling between biological insight and architectural design
• Lead feasibility studies, simulations, and early-stage prototyping efforts
• Evaluate trade-offs across CMOS, emerging devices, photonic, memristive, or other unconventional compute substrates
• Contribute to IP strategy, including invention disclosures and patents

Requirements

• PhD (or equivalent experience) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Computational Neuroscience, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field
• Deep expertise in nonlinear dynamical systems and their application to computation
• Experience designing hardware architectures (ASIC, FPGA, analog/mixed-signal, or emerging device technologies)
• Strong mathematical foundation in dynamical systems, control theory, or computational modeling
• Demonstrated ability to move from theory to implementable system design
• 5+ years of relevant research or industry experience

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior work in neuromorphic computing or spiking neural network hardware
• Experience with event-driven or asynchronous architectures
• Familiarity with reservoir computing, recurrent dynamical systems, or physical computing substrates
• Experience working in early-stage, fast-paced R&D environments
• Track record of patents or high-impact publications in neuromorphic systems

Benefits

• Healthcare coverage
• Annual incentive program
• Retirement benefits
• Broad range of other benefits
