DescriptionAbout this Role
We are hiring an Intern for our Physical Design team at Lightmatter! We are a photonic computer company redefining what computers and human beings are capable of by building the engines that will power discoveries and drive progress in a sustainable way. With modern human progress relying heavily on computers, the world has hit a dead end with traditional transistors, and the prospect of constantly building data centers is an environmental nightmare. Lightmatter has created a solution in photonic computing: using photons instead of electrons to take advantage of their higher bandwidth. We build chips for artificial intelligence computing. Our architecture leverages the unique properties of light to enable fast and efficient inference and training engines.
Responsibilities
Deliver block level physical designs for active project
Produce physical design flow enhancements
Explore new physical design capabilities
Run experiments on block level designs and gather performance data
Learn the Physical Design Flow at Lightmatter
Participate in Physical Design activities directly related to our next generation products
In conjunction with the Physical Design team - choose an aspect of the PD flow to improve or explore. This could be a new flow capability or feature, or a new method of processing or visualizing existing data
