Careers

SLM is working on advanced specifications and looking for exceptional, mission-focused researchers, engineers, and generalists who want to do important work that pushes hardware architectures to new physical limits and into new standards of processing modalities.

01 What we're doing — aspects of our mission scope

We're designing and scaling new classes of compute infrastructure for settings conditioned by intense physics. We hold a durable IP foundation across our platform architecture and are working toward accelerated timelines with near-term deployment targets.

We’re hiring exceptional researchers and engineers in computer architecture and electrical engineering, applied mathematics, nanofabrication and applied physics, mechanical and high-reliability engineering, advanced materials, hardware-software codesign, compiler design, and systems programming, and advanced manufacturing and operations.

02 Hard problems, near-term targets, long horizons

We offer a strong equity package, a competitive base salary, generous benefits, and a serious setting for working on critical problems in device architecture, physical computation, and heavy frontier systems. Our team is executing advanced programs internally and we do work that shapes hard, long-term, multi-generational capabilities.

SLM’s primary base is in California, with our main lab headquartered in the Bay Area, within reach of cypress groves, coastal trails, and ocean air. Think long sightlines and tempered metal.

We run closed-loop research, engineering, and manufacturing across our platform architecture and subsystems. We obtain security clearances for select programs, and our engineers and operators coordinate directly on advanced infrastructure for design, fabrication, testing, and integration.

03 Come shape the central axis

We'd really like to meet you. If you're not ready to join our team yet, we'd also love to start getting to know you early.

Work authorization: If we make you an offer to join our labs in the Bay Area and you don't yet hold US work authorization, we will sponsor your visa and pursue the strongest available pathway to bring you into the United States on merited bases. This also extends to an offer for you to be part of our GMT+1 lab.

Green cards: Once you're eligible, we're also prepared to sponsor green cards.

We encourage you to apply or reach out even if you feel you do not meet every qualification or attribute as described. We care significantly less about normative or consensus-satisfying records than we do strong ability or capacity and personal high signal-to-noise ratio. We do not need you to match every element of what we’ve described here for you to be considered a strong match for our team.
