Website Flex Logix
Flex Logix is the leading provider of reconfigurable computing technology for both AI inference and eFPGA IP solutions. Our offerings push the leading edge of hardware, software and system design; pioneering new approaches to important problems.
- Our InferX X1 is the industry’s most-efficient AI edge inference accelerator that brings AI to the masses in high-volume applications by providing a new silicon efficient dynamic logic paradigm for inference processing. InferX achieves GPU-level inference performance with a fraction of the die area and memory footprint.
- Our EFLX embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP enables any SOC design to flexibly handle changing protocols, standards, algorithms, and customer requirements and enables reconfigurable accelerators that speeds key workloads up to 1000x compared to a general purpose processor. EFLX eFPGA is available in a wide range of process technologies and supports designs ranging from low cost microcontrollers to 5G baseband processing solutions.
Flex Logix is looking for the right individual to lead a team of talented engineers in the quality assurance of Flex Logix’s InferX product line.
About Flex Logix
Backed by some of the savviest investors in this space, Flex Logix develops industry-leading AI inference acceleration engines and is also the #1 provider of eFPGA solutions. Our InferX X1 chipset is the industry’s fastest and most-efficient AI edge inference accelerator that brings AI to high-volume applications, surpassing competitor’s performance. Our Compiler will be one the most flexible, re-targetable, and easiest to use in the Edge AI arena. Our architecture is covered by dozens of patents and is highly differentiated giving us a sustainable competitive advantage.
The Flex-Logix Inference Software team is growing. We are planning a significant growth in the team across our three sites. The Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) team will grow accordingly.
About the Role
In this role, you will be responsible for leading a talented group of InferX SDET designers. The InferX Compiler is an advanced piece of software capable of digesting all manner of Convolutional Neural Network models and adapting them to the renowned Flex Logix InferX X1 chipset. You’ll be working with multiple software teams, deep learning scientists, and hardware designers, to design the appropriate test tools and harnesses to rigorously test and report upon the quality of the InferX application and get it ready for release.
You will grow the team, help define the processes, build the framework, design the reporting architecture, along with your team members, and ensure that Flex Logix releases high quality products deterministically.
