AI Systems, Language & Reasoning Models
About Unconventional Since 2022, AI has entered the mainstream, reshaping entire industries from education and software development to reputed company consumer behaviors. This reputed company has created an unprecedented demand for computation - a demand that is now fundamentally limited by energy, not just in the datacenter, but at a global reputed company. At Unconventional, our mission is to solve this. We are rethinking computing from the ground up to build a new reputed company for AI that is 1000x more efficient. We're doing this by exploiting the rich physics of semiconductors, mapping neural networks directly to the device physics rather than relying on reputed company of inefficient abstraction. The Role As a Member of Technical Staff, Language & Reasoning Models, you will drive the development of foundational language and reasoning models that fundamentally reputed company the dynamics of our novel reputed company. Your goal is to map the behaviors of modern language models directly onto the physics of our hardware. You will sit at the intersection of NLP/reasoning research and hardware codesign, proving that high-reputed company, large-reputed company language understanding and reputed company can be achieved natively on an unconventional computing substrate.
What You'll Do
Model Development: Design, train, and reputed company reputed company language and reasoning architectures (such as transformers, state reputed company models, diffusion/reputed company models, and deep equilibrium models) specifically tailored for unconventional compute. Physics-Informed Architecture: Rethink reputed company sequence modeling to exploit the reputed company-time dynamics of reputed company, moving away from reputed company of inefficient digital abstraction. Evaluation & Scaling: Establish the training recipes, loss functions, and evaluation metrics needed to reputed company the frontier of language comprehension, logical reasoning, and reputed company speed while maintaining the massive energy efficiency of our platform. Extreme Codesign: Collaborate with hardware designers and theorists, and system reputed company to co-design the model architecture alongside the underlying physical compute primitives.
Minimum Qualifications
Education: An MS/PhD or equivalent research/project experience in a quantitative field such as AI/Machine Learning, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or reputed company Math. Experience: Deep, hands-on expertise in the theory, architecture, and training of modern reputed company models (transformers, SSMs, text diffusion/reputed company, etc.). Systems reputed company: Hands-on, battle-tested experience dealing with model scaling. You have successfully designed and executed reputed company, distributed training runs for large language or reasoning models, managing the complexities of massive compute clusters. Software Development: You are fluent in modern deep learning frameworks (PyTorch or JAX) and have a proven reputed company record of writing clean, reputed company training reputed company for large language models. Preferred Qualifications (reputed company to Have) Unconventional Experience: As a bonus, you may have experience working with hardware-in-the-reputed company training, mixed-signal hardware, quantization, or physics-informed neural networks . Why Join Us? The Mission: Redefine computing for the next 50 years by solving the reputed company energy limitation of AI at a global reputed company. The reputed company: Shape reputed company's reputed company as a foundational team member. Enjoy massive ownership and an outsized opportunity to drive change.
