About Architect Labs

Architect is a frontier AI lab for custom silicon. We partner with frontier labs clouds / neoclouds physical AI companies and advanced fabs to tape-out custom chips co-designed for next-generation AI workloads. Our goal is to compress end-to-end software to silicon timelines and maximize intelligence per watt and per dollar for the world. We are a small exceptional team across silicon systems software and frontier AI. Our team have led research teams at nearly every frontier AI lab and at some of the most complex SoCs in the world.

What Youll Do

Define the architectural vision for new generation of AI compute silicons and reinvent how architectures are discovered explored and co-optimized with AI. Own the critical decisions across compute memory interconnect and hardwaresoftware co-design. Build an autoresearch architecture-search pipeline that connects workload analysis design-space exploration performance modeling and PPA feedback to rapidly uncover architectures conventional methods would miss. Partner closely with ASIC and software leaders to turn the strongest ideas into silicon with hands-on ownership of the toughest tradeoffs.

What Wed Like to See

• Exceptional architecture pedigree: A seasoned architect and technical leader or equivalent who has defined and shipped multiple industry-leading CPUs GPUs AI accelerators or complex SoCs.

• Full-stack systems judgment: Deep command of computer architecture performance modeling memory systems interconnects power/performance/area tradeoffs and softwarehardware co-design.

• Proven product impact: Architectural decisions that materially improved performance efficiency scalability or product competitiveness in deployed silicon.

• Technical authority: The ability to challenge assumptions simplify complex systems mentor outstanding engineers and lead through technical credibility rather than hierarchy.

• Builder mentality: Comfortable moving from first-principles exploration to detailed engineering decisions in a fast-moving high-ownership environment.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation and meaningful equity extraordinary technical ownership and the opportunity to shape foundational computing systems alongside a small exceptional team.
