AI Systems QA Engineer

Flex Logix develops industry-leading AI inference engines and we are the #1 provider of eFPGA solutions. Our InferX X1 is the industry’s fastest and most-efficient AI edge inference accelerator that brings AI to high-volume applications, surpassing competitor’s performance at 1/7th size and much lower price. InferX X1 is available as a chip, PCIe board and M.2 board. InferX X1 is working and running YOLOv3 today and starts production shipments this summer. Our Inference Compiler is easy to use (we take in neural network models in TensorFlowLite and ONNX) and our APIs for Infer X1 allow rapid integration by the customer. Our architecture is covered by dozens of patents and is highly differentiated giving us a sustainable competitive advantage.

We recently completed a $55M funding round.

We are looking for a hands-on Staff System QA Engineer to join our team to move our board products from engineering phase to production. You will own, define and implement the InferX X1P1 board that offers the most efficient AI inference acceleration for edge AI workloads. You will also work on X1M which allows you to put high performance AI inference anywhere. You will work on hardware and System QA tasks, which include the functionality verification, 4-corner testing and error handling verification for current and future system products.

Responsibilities 

• Own, define and implement the X1P1 & X1M HW and System QA tasks, which include the functionality verification, 4-corner testing and error handling verification for current and future system products
