VP of Systems

The demand for new data centers and AI compute is rapidly outpacing the planet's energy capacity. Digital solutions are hitting a power wall as we approach the physical limits of traditional silicon. Conquering this bottleneck means rethinking the fundamental architecture of inference compute. The industry's current path can't meet the need, so we're taking a different approach.

Instead of traditional electronic circuits, we use silicon photonics and an active, programmable metasurface to perform matrix multiplications at the speed of light. Our optical cells are 10,000x smaller than traditional photonic components, enabling unprecedented density. By using photonics instead of electricity, our chips become more efficient as they scale. This architecture will deliver up to 100 times the energy efficiency of existing solutions while significantly improving performance for large-scale AI inference.

We’ve assembled a world-class team of industry veterans and recently raised a $110M Series A led by Gates Frontier. Participants include M12 (Microsoft’s Venture Fund), Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bosch Ventures, Tectonic Ventures, Space Capital, and others.

The VP of Systems owns the development of our inference servers and rack and is responsible for the electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering aspects of designing and delivering our full-scale products. This role will own system development from the boards and interconnect through the end-to-end power and high-speed-channel budgets that make the design close, to full system bring-up. Everything needed to connect our optical processing units (OPUs) together, integrate them into the rack, and ensure the system boots, runs, and passes qualification. Reports to the SVP of Engineering.
