Senior Systems Engineer - Signal Processing, Algorithms and Characterization

About the role

The Systems Engineer plays a crucial role in Mythic's mission to build the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology. This position leverages skills from RF baseband, high-speed digital communication system design, and RF sensing to develop signal-processing solutions that mitigate the impact of analog impairments on neural network accuracy.

Responsibilities

• Own various aspects of algorithms and DSP blocks that optimize the performance of Mythic’s unique analog compute-in-memory technology from concept to customer deployment.
• Work with model-training, compiler, and firmware teams to productize these algorithms.
• Write and modify firmware as needed to productize/debug algorithms.
• Continually improve on the fidelity of our modeling and simulation environment to better predict silicon performance.
• Correlate errors seen on silicon to simulation models and contribute to improving the fidelity of our models for analog compute.
• Develop Python frameworks for data collection, error-analysis, and quantify impact of analog impairments on neural-network accuracy.
• Participate in silicon bring-up, characterization, and performance optimization.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience in production DSP or RF baseband engineering (3 years if Ph.D. or M.S.).
• Strong familiarity with production Python coding, including object-oriented and/or functional programming.
• Strong familiarity with core DSP concepts, including frequency domain analysis, filtering, statistical signal processing, and estimation theory.
• Track record of shipping silicon with DSP or RF/Analog sub-systems.
• Understanding of linear algebra concepts, including matrix math and linear regression.
• Comfort with large-scale collection and processing of signals.
• Commitment to quality and engineering excellence.
• Strong communication skills.

Qualifications

• MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
• Experience with RF calibration and silicon bring-up in the high-speed communication space.
• Familiarity with NumPy/SciPy (or experience with Numpy and strong familiarity with MATLAB for DSP).
• Familiarity with state-of-the-art neural network architectures.
