Junior Characterization Engineer

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 technologypowers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabricthat is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantlywhile 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 shiftin how AI hardware is built for the future.
