The AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) Computing Lab is dedicated to solving the complex system-level challenges posed by the growing demands of future AI/ML workloads. Our team is committed to designing and developing scalable platforms that can effectively handle the computational and memory requirements of these workloads while minimizing energy consumption and maximizing performance. To achieve this goal, we collaborate closely with both hardware and software engineers to identify and address the unique challenges posed by AI/ML workloads and to explore new computing abstractions that can provide a better balance between the hardware and software components of our systems.

Additionally, we continuously conduct research and development in emerging technologies and trends across memory, computing, interconnect, and AI/ML, ensuring that our platforms are always equipped to handle the most demanding workloads of the future. By working together as a dedicated and passionate team, we aim to revolutionize the way AI/ML applications are deployed and executed, ultimately contributing to the advancement of AGI in an affordable and sustainable manner.

Join us in our passion to shape the future of computing!

Daily onsite presence at our San Jose, CA office / U.S. headquarters in alignment with our Flexible Work policy.

• Own the physical implementation of memory-centric computing IP and SoC partitions from RTL netlist to GDSII, including synthesis, floor planning, placement, clock tree synthesis (CTS), and routing.
• Drive block- and full-chip-level PPA (performance, power, and area) convergence and timing closure across multiple process corners and operating modes.
• Develop floor plans, power delivery networks, and macro placement strategies for memory controllers, NoC, and high‑bandwidth interconnect subsystems.
• Perform static timing analysis (STA), constraint development, and signoff, resolving setup/hold timing, IR‑drop, electromigration, and signal integrity issues.
• Execute physical verification and signoff (DRC, LVS, antenna, and reliability checks) in collaboration with foundry and standard‑cell/memory library teams on advanced process nodes.
