Advisory Board Member Opportunity at DeepChip

DeepChip builds next-generation tools for analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit design using advanced AI, accelerated co-simulation, and hybrid ML/physics models to transform electronics in the quantum era. We are in early technological and product milestones, aiming to establish a quantum-augmented design engine that accelerates creation and optimization of high-value quantum circuits. Join our Advisory Board to provide strategic guidance on scaling this deeptech vision.

Your Strategic Role

Guide DeepChip's technical roadmap without full-time commitment, focusing on:

• Advising on custom AI architectures for EDA challenges like GNNs, RL, surrogate modeling, and autoencoders.

• Shaping ML/physics co-simulation pipelines integrated with SPICE and similar tools.

• Collaborating with our hardware/quantum founder, academic partners, and industry leaders on tech stack, IP strategy, publications, and infrastructure.

• Supporting team growth in AI, data, and engineering.

• Contributing to fundraising, grants (ANR, BPI, Europe), and deeptech pitches.

Ideal Profile

PhD or equivalent in applied AI, signal processing, statistical learning, computational physics, or related fields, with strong expertise in modern ML models (probabilistic/variational, GNNs, RL, autoencoders, transformers). Proficiency in Python/PyTorch/JAX/TensorFlow, plus familiarity with EDA simulation tools (HFSS, SPICE). Bonus: Experience in RF/microwave hardware or cryogenic CMOS systems. Your insights in quantum readout, RF amplification, and large-scale simulations align perfectly with our superconducting quantum chip focus.
