SOC Physical Design Integration Lead

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer‑scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry‑leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large‑scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.

Cerebras' current customers include global corporations across multiple industries, national labs, and top‑tier healthcare systems. In January, we announced a multi‑year, multi‑million‑dollar partnership with Mayo Clinic, underscoring our commitment to transforming AI applications across various fields. In August, we launched Cerebras Inference, the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPU‑based hyperscale cloud inference services.
