CoDesign & NextGen - College Grad

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer‑scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry‑leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large‑scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs.

Cerebras' current customers include global corporations across multiple industries, national labs, and top‑tier healthcare systems. In January, we announced a multi‑year, multi‑million‑dollar partnership with Mayo Clinic, underscoring our commitment to transforming AI applications across various fields. In August, we launched Cerebras Inference, the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, over 10 times faster than GPU‑based hyperscale cloud inference services.

Engineers in the CoDesign and Next Gen organization work at the interface of software and hardware helping everything from high performance kernel design, next generation ASIC performance modeling and tuning, new system bringup and software tuning, system robustness and simulations.

As an new engineer you’ll be expected to learn the Cerebras products and platforms end to end starting at the base layer of programming the Wafer Scale Engine through kernel development, modeling performance for our software products and validating the work through exercising it on both actual hardware and simulations.
