Normal Computing | Build with Us
Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, San Francisco, London, Copenhagen, and Pangyo.
The Role
Normal Computing is redefining computing for the next 20 years by optimizing LLM and Diffusion inference by 100–1000x through combining thermodynamic computing and CIM technology. You will own the end-to-end development of our CIM substrate from architecture and schematic design to layout, tapeout, custom PCB development, and post-silicon bring-up.
What You Will Own
End-to-end PCB design flow: lead the full PCB development cycle including research, design, and evaluation of custom chips
Silicon bring-up: lead post-silicon correlation and validation efforts including root-cause analysis and general debug
PCB bring-up: ensure the PCB you designed and manufactured is fully functional as intended
Cross-functional collaboration: work alongside analog, digital, and ML engineers to further improve system-level PPA.
What Makes You a Great Fit
Owned multiple PCBs end-to-end through design, simulation, fabrication and bringup
Familiar with common PCB tools, including Altium, Allegro, OrCAD, Xpedition
Built PCBs for expansion formats like PCIe, and including components like FPGAs, high-speed memories, flash memories, and various connectors like 100G ethernet
Bonus Points
Lead, fabricated, brought up custom PCBs to evaluate custom CIM chips
Experienced and comfortable in a lab bench environment including soldering with a microscope
Have used scripting languages (i.e. Python, Perl) to automate design flows and data post-processing
