Meta wishes to construct accelerators and SoCs to run in its datacenters– for tasks consisting of artificial intelligence– however seems having a hard time to discover folks to develop them.
The Register has actually found various task advertisements for ASIC engineers with know-how in architecture, style, and screening in Bangalore, India, and Sunnyvale, California. A few of the tasks determine Meta as the company, others suggest the work is for Facebook.
The architecture gigs information the possibility to “assist designer state-of-the art maker finding out accelerators.”
Style gigs need prospects “with deep experience that covers several of the essential locations needed to construct effective first-rate complex SoC and IP for datacenter applications,” and to do so for Facebook’s Infrastructure company in Bangalore, India.
Style confirmation gigs need “Experience with Design confirmation of Datacenter applications like Video, AI/ML and Networking styles.”
Surprisingly, a few of the tasks were very first published to LinkedIn in late December 2023, however were re-posted 2 weeks earlier. Some have simply a handful of candidates, regardless of wages approaching $200,000 for the tasks in Sunnyvale.
- Google launches Gemma– LLMs little enough to work on your computer system

- OpenAI most current to include ‘Made by AI’ metadata to design work
Simply what Meta wishes to produce isn’t defined, however it’s not difficult to think what The Social Network depends on– it’s formerly discusssed its homegrown “Meta Training Inference Accelerators” and its objective to bring them online in 2024.
With AI taking off and Nvidia confessing it will have a hard time to please need for its items, it would not shock if Meta has actually chosen to enhance its own efforts to guarantee it does not need to bid for items in a hot, hot, market. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Wednesday declared that his company’s hardware has actually assisted to enhance Meta’s suggestion engines and by doing so enhanced its earnings. Meta for that reason plainly requires for ML muscle, and might have chosen to bend its cashflow to develop it, instead of count on a stressed out provider.
Meta is likewise pursuing synthetic basic intelligence– an effort that might need specific silicon.
Whatever Meta wishes to develop, India’s federal government will invite Meta’s choice to promote in Bangalore. The country sees its corps of semiconductor style skill as its quote to end up being a larger gamer in the worldwide semiconductor caper. New Delhi would be thrilled by a designed-in-India ML accelerator.
We’ve asked Meta for details on what it prepares to develop however aren’t holding our breath for a significant action. ®
