ASIC Lead Physical Design Engineer (FTE or Consultant)
Does making the next extraordinary technology product excite you? Imagine what you could do here. We bring passion and dedication to our job and when you are a part of our team there's no telling what you could accomplish.
Elastics team focuses on delivering data center class products to enable composable infrastructure based on CXL technology. It requires custom silicon with critical functions like latency and bandwidth.
Elastics is driving the state of the art forward with breakthrough work in the infrastructure to reduce the TCO at scale while creating heterogeneous architecture to increase the performance of the system with its patent pending technology that spans compute, networking and storage. Our chips will enable composability on hardware, software and at system level to address our customers’ problems and provide the solution at each level. We believe that to achieve the stated goals is to optimize from the entire stack in software and, from transistor, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms. We are looking to hire an experienced silicon Physical Design Engineer to support our efforts in this regard.
Be part of the team building the architecture and the design for the next generation system on-chip to address performance, latency and throughput while reducing at scale for next generation data centers.
