About The Position

Annapurna Labs designs silicon and software that accelerates innovation. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world. The Chassis Software team is looking for candidates interested in diving deep into the different hardware technologies that power our Machine Learning servers and develop the software and firmware to drive, support and sustain these technologies as they evolve through concept and manufacturing, and finally take their place in our rapidly expanding fleet of emerging Machine Learning products our customers demand. Technologies useful to this role include operating systems, Linux architecture, embedded systems, and control systems. Our team uses C, C++, Lua, Bash, Python and other similar languages to develop device drivers, enable control systems which utilize sensor data, and develop automation software. Familiarity with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) software and architecture is helpful but not required. Although we use machine learning workloads to validate systems software, this team is focused on codeveloping reliable server software and hardware for customers to deploy their ML workloads at scale.
