Full Job Description

Cerebras Systems builds the world's largest AI chip, 56 times larger than GPUs. Our novel wafer-scale architecture provides the AI compute power of dozens of GPUs on a single chip, with the programming simplicity of a single device. This approach allows Cerebras to deliver industry-leading training and inference speeds and empowers machine learning users to effortlessly run large-scale ML applications, without the hassle of managing hundreds of GPUs or TPUs. Cerebras' current customers include top model labs, global enterprises, and cutting-edge AI-native startups. OpenAI recently announced a multi-year partnership with Cerebras, to deploy 750 megawatts of scale, transforming key workloads with ultra high-speed inference. Thanks to the groundbreaking wafer-scale architecture, Cerebras Inference offers the fastest Generative AI inference solution in the world, 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. The Role: As a Mechanical Engineer at Cerebras, you will lead the design of mechanical systems for our next-generation wafer-scale engine. Your responsibilities will include ensuring compliance with specifications, validating manufacturability, and delivering a high-quality product in a fast-paced environment—tackling some of the most challenging problems in the rapidly evolving AI space. In this role, you will develop mechanical infrastructure for Cerebras’ custom hardware system. Rapidly iterate on designs and analysis to inform high level systems trades and steer overall product direction. Provide comprehensive support for environmental and performance testing on hardware, validating analyses, and ensuring compliance with design criteria.
