Technical Advisor / Principal Architect, Office of the CTO Location: 1025 St‑Sulpice VD (VD)
Kandou AI is redefining the economics of AI infrastructure with proprietary MIMO‑over‑copper technology that powers high‑performance, chiplet‑based AI memory fabric. This role offers a rare opportunity to work directly with the CTO on breakthrough communication and interconnect technologies that shape next‑generation chip‑to‑chip, die‑to‑die, memory, and networking interconnects.
Role Overview You will partner closely with the CTO to explore, evaluate, and prototype next‑generation communication system architectures. The role spans research, modeling, algorithm development, system architecture, and early‑stage silicon feasibility, translating theoretical concepts into implementable designs scalable into products.
What You Will Do
Partner with the CTO to develop next‑generation communication and interconnect architectures.
Explore novel signaling, coding, equalization, and system‑level techniques.
Build models, simulations, and prototypes to validate architectural concepts.
Evaluate performance, power, latency, area, and manufacturability tradeoffs.
Translate research into silicon‑ready architectures and intellectual property.
Identify emerging technologies and opportunities for competitive differentiation.
Provide technical leadership and guidance across research, architecture, and product teams.
Required Qualifications
Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
Strong background in digital communications and communication system fundamentals.
Deep understanding of information theory, coding, modulation, and signal processing.
Experience building mathematical models, simulations, or prototypes.
Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar environments.
Ability to work across abstraction levels—from theory to architecture to implementation.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills; comfortable exploring unfamiliar domains.
Highly Desirable Experience (streamlined)
SerDes architecture, equalization, or wireline communications.
Coding theory, FEC, or advanced modulation schemes.
System‑level modeling (SystemC or equivalent).
Machine learning applied to communications.
Experience taking concepts from theory to silicon.
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role
Fluently moves between mathematics, algorithms, architecture, and hardware.
Willing and able to be hands‑on when needed, diving into analysis, modeling, coding, simulation, debugging, or lab work.
Intellectually curious and thrives on open‑ended technical challenges.
Challenges assumptions and proposes unconventional approaches when needed.
Understands that elegant theory must ultimately translate into manufacturable silicon.
