At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.
Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.
Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.
Job title: Modeling Engineer
Location : Lausanne, Switzerland
Responsibility:
- Implement, document, and maintain software for system-level modelling of serial communication links in MATLAB, Python, and C++
- Work closely with system architects in order to budget the link and define block-level specs of the transceiver
- Work closely with analog, digital, and verification teams in order to support the design and verification process
Skills:
- Good knowledge of control theory and digital algorithms
- Demonstrated skills in implementing signal-processing algorithms
- Understanding of the building blocks of a digital communication link and factors impacting the link performance (Familiarity with SerDes link components and clock recovery circuits is a plus)
- Proficient in at least one of the following programming languages C++, MALTAB, or Python/NumPy.
- Familiar with git version-control system and fundamentals of software engineering (unit-testing, profiling, …)
- Familiar with analog circuit simulators (SPICE/SPECTRE)
- Familiar with principles of signal integrity
- Strong communication and presentation skills
Preferred Experience:
- 5+ years of experience in semiconductor, telecommunications, or mathematical/scientific software industry
- Experience with system-level simulation of digital communication systems (experience in SerDes links is a plus)
- Experience working with geographically dispersed teams
Education
- Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Communication Systems, or Computer Science (equivalent or higher) with strong background in Signal Processing and good understanding of Circuits Theory
