Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. This architecture allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds; over 10 times faster than GPU-based hyperscale cloud inference services.
This order of magnitude increase in speed is transforming the user experience of AI applications, unlocking real-time iteration and increasing intelligence via additional agentic computation.
Cerebras works with the leading model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership https://openai.com/index/cerebras-partnership/ with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference.
Cerebras Systems Inc. has multiple openings for Hardware Analytics Engineer
Title: Hardware Analytics Engineer
Job Duties:
Design and optimize scalable data pipeline architectures for multi-terabyte hardware telemetry, reliability analytics, and performance optimization.
Architect, develop, and optimize hyperscale data pipeline frameworks and ETL processes to aggregate, process, and analyze multi-terabyte hardware performance and telemetry streams, including utilization, power, thermal, acoustic, and reliability metrics across heterogeneous compute, storage, and AI server platforms, ensuring hardware performance compliance and operational reliability.
Design and implement hardware performance analysis and anomaly detection systems using Python, SQL, Tableau, Hive, and Spark to forecast hardware failure curves, identify performance bottlenecks, and generate prescriptive recommendations for hardware and system optimization.
Lead hardware characterization experiments and thermal/cooling A/B studies to evaluate operational envelopes, delivering validated strategies that reduce carbon footprint, improve water usage efficiency, and maintain or enhance system reliability.
Engineer telemetry ingestion, monitoring, and visualization systems to provide real-time, high-fidelity hardware health data to hardware, firmware, and datacenter operations teams, enabling data-driven decision-making at scale.
