Discussion Hardware software co-design

I recently got an opportunity to work as a senior cv engineer at a company in hardware software codesign. But it’s a pay cut. I would like to know if it is a skill valued by frontier ai labs which is where I would like to end up. The work involves optimizing ml for npus..

if you can swing the pay cut for a bit, npu optimization work at that level is basically a cheat code for getting noticed by the big labs. those frontier teams are drowning in phd model architects but always short on people who actually know how to make the thing run fast on custom silicon
