Here's a new Analog Devices job ad (posted 7 days ago) for an
AI Compute Architect being hired to lead architectural integration of µAI (micro AI) compute blocks, analog AI, in-memory computing and
spiking neural networks / neuromorphic computing.
A pretty clear signal IMO that neuromorphic approaches are on ADI’s SoC roadmap.
As you can see, they’re looking for someone to help with early RTL and analog prototyping, interface definition and IP integration, which shows they’re not just researching but planning to potentially integrate third-party IPs (like BrainChip’s Akida or some other similar neuromorphic technology).
The job responsibilities include:
“Support early RTL and analog prototyping of both internal and third-party IP blocks.”
That's a pretty strong indicator they’re at least open to collaborating with companies like BrainChip.
Obviously, it's by no means confirmation of any sort of partnership, but it’s certainly a door that seems to be open.
No need to wait on the welcome mat, Sean. Cruise on through like you mean business!
