We're an innovative leader in high-speed and energy efficient chip-chip link solutions critical to the evolution of the electronics industry, continuously developing to meet the demands of not just the customers of today, but of tomorrow too. If you love to be part of a high-tech scale-up and are motivated by pushing your limits and challenging the status quo, we have an opportunity for you.

We are actively seeking a Memory Systems Engineer
who enjoys a challenge, for our office in Switzerland (Lausanne).

Responsability and Authority
Architectural performance simulations using application traces or synthetic workloads to quantify the effects of various memory subsystems
FPGA prototyping of memory subsystems in the lab for functional and performance validation. Use of off shelf FPGA boards is acceptable.
Analysis of configurations of memory controllers and their impact on computer system performance
Participate in SoC architecture design and analysis particularly being responsible for memory controllers
Assist the engineering team in formulating and executing design verification and validation plans around DRAM controller & memory

Required Competencies – Experience
Must have designed a DRAM controller and tested it using either FPGA or ASICs
DRAM performance modeling and characterization experience in either industrial or academic setting
Correlate key application performance to DRAM subsystem capabilities either by gathering traces or by directed testing techniques in the lab. Key applications may be any one of databases, machine learning or search
Working knowledge of Linux kernel with a strong preference for some development or testing work
Architectural simulations of computer systems with a particular emphasis on DRAM subsystems

Required Competencies – Skills
Master's Degree of Tech/EngineeringZ/Equivalent in Electronics, Computer Engineer or Computer Science
FPGA design and implementation of complex systems including memory controllers
C/C++ coding proficiency particularly for Linux system and for architecture simulations
Benchmarking of high performance applications – one or more of databases, machine learning/AI, search indexes or streaming analytics
Familiarity with DRAM internal device architecture particularly in its impact on computer performance
Computer systems architecture including protocols such as CXL , PCIe and AXI
Verilog/VHDL for RTL design and/or verification

If this is the role you have been looking for and want to be part of a growing company with an exciting future, we would really love to hear from you. Together We Kandou It!
