Characterization Engineer

Nouvelle opportunite : Characterization Engineer chez Kandou Bus SA (St-Sulpice VD).

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 a
Characterization Engineer for our lab in Switzerland (Lausanne)
