Kandou

AI Engineer

• Design and implement real-world agentic AI systems using modern agent frameworks and orchestration tools.
• Develop agentic workflows that go beyond chat, including complex analytical pipelines, multi-step research workflows, tool-using agents, knowledge-grounded agents, and structured decision-support systems.
• Work with knowledge-based AI architectures, including retrieval-augmented generation, knowledge graphs, symbolic rules, structured domain models, ontologies, and hybrid reasoning systems.
• Develop and apply mechanisms for controlling inference, including planning constraints, reasoning policies, guardrails, validation layers, tool-use control, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
• Explore and implement neuro-symbolic approaches for agentic reasoning, combining LLM-based reasoning with symbolic, rule-based, graph-based, or formally structured methods.
• Build transparent AI methods that make agent behaviour traceable, explainable, testable, and auditable.
• Create evaluation and testing frameworks for agentic systems, including benchmark tasks, regression tests, failure-mode analysis, trace inspection, robustness testing, and task-level performance measurement.
• Develop full-stack prototypes and production applications, integrating backend services, APIs, databases, frontend interfaces, model providers, and orchestration layers.
• Collaborate with researchers, engineers, product teams, and domain experts to translate ambiguous real-world problems into reliable agentic workflows.
• Stay current with developments in agentic AI, reasoning systems, LLM orchestration, AI evaluation, and applied neuro-symbolic methods.

Lead AI Architect

Architect

• Own the SoC and Product Specification stack for a 1.6T retimer SoC and the AEC product it enables, at 224G/lane PAM4
• Author and maintain normative specifications (SHALL/MUST/SHOULD/MAY language with REQ-ID traceability) that RTL, firmware, software, SI/PI, manufacturing, qualification, and customer engineering teams execute against
• Represent architecture in hyperscaler and strategic platform customer specification negotiation, including qualification test point, FEC telemetry, CMIS vendor-page, and thermal envelope commitments

System Architect

• 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

SerDes Architecture and Modeling Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

• Will be a key member of a small FPGA team that will own prototyping of Kandou’s architectures in FPGA
• Will need to work independently with low day-to-day supervision and own FPGA projects
• Will work with Kandou’s architecture and system software teams on FPGA prototyping and participate in the entire lifecycle of project including support.
• Will participate in technical discussions with IP providers and be responsible for driving some of them.
