Hardware Architect and Team Lead

About Us : AI compute is hitting a hard physical wall, and memory bottlenecks are throttling the entire industry. Founded in October 2024 and backed by €57M in funding, Vertical Compute is solving this with proprietary Vertical Integrated Memory (VIM™) chiplets, making AI hardware faster, greener, and vastly more scalable. We are an interdisciplinary team transforming breakthrough semiconductor physics into commercial reality.

Why Now : After 18 months of intensive R&D, Vertical Compute has reached a critical inflection point. Our underlying technology is validated, and we have successfully met our core technical milestones. Armed with a proven technical data package and ongoing system studies, we are now shifting from pure R&D to active engagement with global enterprise customers. As we prepare for our next phase of scale and growth starting in 2027, joining us today means taking direct ownership of the hardware foundation that will power the next era of AI compute.

About the role:

We are looking for a Hardware Architect and Team Lead with strong hardware architecture expertise to lead the definition, architecture, and execution of our next-generation 3D-integrated chiplet products.

In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and specifying chiplet products developed by Vertical Compute integrated in 3D, ensuring they leverage our proprietary Vertical Integrated Memory (VIM™) technology to address complex AI computation challenges, collaborating closely with the memory design team and the SW Team in charge of the AI application and AI compiler development.…
