About the role

Your goal is to map the behaviors of modern language models directly onto the physics of our hardware.
You will sit at the intersection of NLP/reasoning research and hardware codesign, proving that high-fidelity, large-scale language understanding and generation can be achieved natively on an unconventional computing substrate.

Model Development: Design, train, and scale next-generation language and reasoning architectures (such as transformers, state space models, diffusion/flow models, and deep equilibrium models) specifically tailored for unconventional compute.
Extreme Codesign: Collaborate with hardware designers and theorists, and system builders to co-design the model architecture alongside the underlying physical compute primitives.
As a Member of Technical Staff, Language & Reasoning Models, you will drive the development of foundational language and reasoning models that fundamentally leverage the dynamics of our novel silicon.
Design, train, and scale next-generation language and reasoning architectures (such as transformers, state space models, diffusion/flow models, and deep equilibrium models) specifically tailored for unconventional compute.

Systems Fluency: Hands-on, battle-tested experience dealing with model scaling.
The Mission: Redefine computing for the next 50 years by solving the fundamental energy limitation of AI at a global scale.

A comprehensive package including best-in-class health benefits, 401k matching, truly unlimited PTO, and complimentary meals in our Palo Alto office.
As a bonus, you may have experience working with hardware-in-the-loop training, mixed-signal hardware, quantization, or physics-informed neural networks
Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to fundamental consumer behaviors.

At Unconventional, our mission is to solve this.
We are rethinking computing from the ground up to build a new foundation for AI that is 1000x more efficient.
