About us
We are searching for talented individuals who are driven to tackle the most ambitious goal of our time - building the computer hardware that enables the development of safe artificial general intelligence. See more at fathomradiant.co/aboutus

In our people, we above all value kindness, a scout mindset, a focus on improvement, and prioritising to get the right things done. We aim to help build one of the most transformative technologies in the world, with massive social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we are actively striving to have a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

This Role
We’re seeking a Director of Architecture with a strong first principles approach to computer architecture and system design. In this role, you will lead the definition of Fathom’s architecture and collaborate closely with colleagues from other disciplines (e.g. electronics, optics) to design and build novel optoelectronic hardware for massively-parallel computing systems.


Areas of contribution:

  • Lead the effort on defining system-level networks and protocols, enabling architectures for new parallel computing systems
  • Work with customers and other teams to lead the definition of product specifications
  • Perform analytical and simulation-based modeling of interconnect systems to evaluate performance and derive optimizations.
  • Collaborate with the integrated circuit design teams to guide the trade-offs in PPA
  • Assume managerial role for the architecture team, contribute to hiring of new team members, and be the technical lead for the architecture team

Requirements (necessary skills for this role):

  • Masters degree in computer engineering or related field, +5 years industry experience
  • Experience in defining system architectures and translating that into successful products
  • Expert knowledge of large-scale parallel and distributed computing systems
  • Knowledge of interconnect and networking technologies and protocols, such as ethernet, UCIe, PCIe, and CXL
  • Knowledge of computer architecture and deep learning concepts, including memory and storage subsystems, as well as networking both on and off chip
  • Experience with programming languages such as C/C++ and scripting languages such as Python
  • Ability to quickly conduct system-level trades to guide architecture decisions

Nice-to-haves (we will prioritize candidates that also have these skills)

  • PhD in computer engineering or related field
  • Familiarity with digital design and understanding of the Verilog and SystemVerilog HDLs

You'll do well here if...

  • You're motivated to build something that hasn’t been built before.
  • You're kind, enjoy thoughtful discussions fueled by problem-solving and logic, and care about our mission to positively influence the trajectory of artificial intelligence.
  • You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them.
  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a manufacturable solution that works every time.
  • You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, and optics engineers. You are comfortable communicating across teams.
Indicative salary range for this role: $150,000 to $250,000

For all roles, we target market salaries, with an additional benefits package. Our comprehensive benefits include startup equity, medical expenses coverage (including extra coverage for employees with a family).
