A bit about us:
100% REMOTE POSITION - REQUIRES WORKING WITH TEAM MEMBERS IN CALIFORNIA AND ASIA
With offices in the Silicon Valley and around the world, we are a well-funded start-up on a mission to bring the next generation of positioning technology to market and, in so doing, eliminate one of the most consequential technical barriers to the mass adoption of autonomy and IoT at scale! The positioning technology used today is more than 20 years old. Our next-generation technology combines silicon technology, cutting-edge high-dimension statistical signal processing, as well as high-performance cloud computing to decrease GPS sensors' positioning errors and power consumption. The result is a quantum leap forward in capabilities in these areas through ultra-low-power and high-precision positioning that is 150x more energy-efficient, 100x more accurate (precise to the centimeter), and 15x faster than existing GNSS and GPS technology.
We provide a high-autonomy environment where talented people can have out-sized impacts working on hard problems and believe passionately that the results of our work will unleash trillions of dollars in economic value by playing a crucial part in enabling autonomy and IoT at scale. Despite our small size (10 employees in the US) and ambitious technological deliverables, we shipped orders of our first product to major customers in late 2019.
Why join us?
Our ultra-low-power and high-precision positioning is a key component of an autonomous future from the densest urban settings to the most remote locations and everywhere in between. Today's positioning technology is not precise enough for safe autonomy in dense urban environments. It's also not energy efficient enough. Positioning is so energy expensive that autonomous delivery units (for example) need to be recharged every few hours. Our technology would let these same units operate for days or even weeks between charges. Simply put, it's a game-changer.
In this position, you will be the SoC Chip Lead. Your work is critical to the success of our mission of enabling a massive technological leap forward for mankind.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU
A high degree of autonomy and ownership of your work, team, and project
Very competitive Start-up salaries
Very generous equity in an early-stage company that currently has under 15 Engineers on staff
A streamlined 2 step interview process (the first conversation is with the CEO)
Job Details
We have developed several blocks of the chip but we need an SoC Lead who will integrate these blocks. You will lead all of the front-end design and integration of the SoC as well as work with the verification, and backend teams with the immediate goal of delivering a successful tape-out.
REQUIREMENTS: (1) You have been the leader of at least one chip team that: o Developed a new chip from scratch (not an iteration of an existing product). o One or more of these chips went to mass production. o The chip(s) were ARM or RISC-V based (2) You have depth and breadth of understanding of the various components of a Digital SoC including Memory, Flash, OTP, CPU core, Bus, etc. Deep understanding of the CPU subsystem and computer architecture of modern processors. (3) Be very hands on. If there is a problem in either RTL design, verification, backend, or other areas related to chip design, you can dive into the problem and be the person who solves the problem. (4) Being detail-oriented. We expect our team to justify the engineering decisions they make in their daily work, and we discuss these engineering decisions in great detail.
If this sounds like you, please apply now as interviews are ongoing!
