## Description

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.
We are actively seeking an **EDA/CAD Engineer, based either in UK (Cambridge or Reading), Switzerland (St-Sulpice), or India (Hyderabad or Bangalore)Department: **RnD
