Junior/ Senior ASIC Design Engineer

About the RoleWe are developing next-generation NPUs and computing systems with large-model inference as a primary application, and are looking for a senior architect with technical depth and a systems perspective to drive hardware architecture innovation, frontier technology exploration, and validation of key technical solutions.This role is centered on hardware architecture and requires combined hardware/software knowledge and analytical capability — understanding the execution characteristics of large models, compilers, and runtimes, and translating them into design and optimization decisions across chips, memory, interconnect, and complete systems. Strong emphasis is also placed on performance, energy efficiency, cost efficiency, and engineering feasibility under domestic process and supply-chain conditions.We welcome technical experts with deep expertise in at least one of the following areas — NPU chips, high-speed interconnect, or complete systems — and with a cross-domain perspective.Key Responsibilities<ol><li>Hardware architecture exploration for large-model inference. Research NPU compute architecture, memory hierarchy, data movement, and interconnect mechanisms around the requirements of large-model inference, and propose innovative ideas, architecture improvements, and alternative solutions with product value.</li><li>Workload analysis and hardware-software co-design.

Evaluate constraints such as die area, frequency, power, yield, and interface capabilities against the maturity of domestic wafer fabrication, memory, packaging, substrate, and IP capabilities, and explore architecture implementation paths suited to the domestic supply chain.</li><li>Performance and cost-efficiency optimization. Under target model, precision, and service-latency requirements, evaluate effective throughput, energy efficiency, and multi-card scaling efficiency; factoring in manufacturing, packaging, testing, memory, board, and system costs, optimize inference capability per unit cost and total cost of ownership (TCO).</li><li>Modeling, validation, and results delivery. Quantitatively compare the benefits and risks of candidate solutions through performance modeling, simulation, prototype verification, and sample testing; collaborate with chip, packaging, hardware, and software teams to move research outcomes into product design.
