Secondmind exists to help automotive engineers design better cars faster. The company’s cloud-native software, powered by Secondmind Active Learning, addresses the increasing complexity of vehicle design and development by reducing design simulation time and calibration overhead, enabling engineers to reimagine vehicle design and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral mobility. Founded in 2016 and supported by investors such as Amadeus Capital, Atlantic Bridge, Cambridge Innovation Capital and Mazda, Secondmind was recently recognized with the Automotive Testing Technology International Alternative Powertrain Test Innovation of the Year Award; selected for the Tech Nation Future Fifty scale-up program, and named by Bloomberg as one of the UK’s 25 startups to watch.

Graphcore has created a new processor, the Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU), specifically designed for artificial intelligence. The IPU’s unique architecture means developers can run current machine learning models orders of magnitude faster. More importantly, it lets AI researchers undertake entirely new types of work, not possible using current technologies, to drive the next great breakthroughs in general machine intelligence. Our next generation 3D Wafer-on-Wafer Bow IPU systems are helping AI innovators worldwide to build better, more innovative AI solutions, whether their focus is on language and vision, exploring graph neural networks and LSTMs or creating something entirely new. We believe our IPU technology will become the worldwide standard for artificial intelligence compute. The performance of Graphcore’s IPU is going to be transformative across all industries and sectors whether you are a medical researcher, roboticist or building autonomous cars. Our team is at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution, enabling innovators from all industries and sectors to expand human potential with technology. What we do, really makes a difference. Were always interested in hearing from exceptional people to join our team.
