BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of
ultra-low power high performance artificial intelligence
technology, today announced that Todd Vierra has joined the company
as director of technical sales. In this position, he will focus on
strategic customer adoption and implementation of the Akida™
neuromorphic processor in industries including aerospace,
autonomous vehicles, medicine, cybersecurity, and smart “edge”
devices such as sensors and cameras.
Vierra has more than 25 years of engineering and technical sales
expertise in chip design, electronic design automation, and
intellectual property. He joins BrainChip from ARM, where he was
director of field sales engineers for more than 15 years, providing
support for ARM processors in the Machine Learning, Internet of
Things (IoT), embedded and automotive, client/mobile, and
enterprise business divisions. He spent nearly seven years in
high-speed ASIC design at Applied Micro Systems, and at Cadence
Design Systems. At Nurlogic Design Inc., and Artisan Components
Todd led the technical sales teams for digital and high-speed
Analog IP. He has a BS Electrical, Electronics, and Communications
Engineering and an MBA from Coleman University.
“Todd is a great addition to the BrainChip team with his
experience in processors, application engineering, and IP,” said
Louis DiNardo, BrainChip CEO. “As demand for Akida increases, Todd
represents an investment in supporting our Early Access Program and
future customers to implement Akida IP and silicon sales.”
“As AI/ML processing evolves, there are more and more
applications and industries where BrainChip’s technology can be
deployed, and that is both an opportunity for the company and for
all of society,” said Vierra. “I am thrilled and proud to join a
company that is enabling new innovations in science, healthcare,
transportation, security, defense, and more.”
Akida Neural Processor technology is a revolutionary advanced
neural networking processor that brings artificial intelligence to
the edge in a way that existing technologies are incapable of. The
solution is high-performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a
wide array of edge applications. The Akida Neuromorphic
System-on-Chip, licensable IP, and Akida Development Environment
machine learning framework are being used in applications and
devices including smart appliances, remote controls, industrial
IoT, security cameras, sensors, unmanned aircraft, autonomous
vehicles, medical instruments, and audio recording, for object
detection, sound detection, odor and taste detection, tracking,
facial recognition, gesture recognition, keyword spotting,
cybersecurity, and more.

About BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN)
BrainChip is a global technology company that is producing a
groundbreaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial
intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities
of other products. The chip is high performance, small, ultra-low
power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities that include
on-chip training, learning and inference. The event-based neural
network processor is inspired by the spiking nature of the human
brain and is implemented in an industry standard digital process.
By mimicking brain processing BrainChip has pioneered a processing
architecture, called Akida™, which is both scalable and flexible to
address the requirements in edge devices. At the edge, sensor
inputs are analyzed at the point of acquisition rather than through
transmission via the cloud to a data center. Akida is designed to
provide a complete ultra-low power and fast AI Edge Network for
vision, audio, olfactory and smart transducer applications. The
reduction in system latency provides faster response and a more
power efficient system that can reduce the large carbon footprint
of data centers.
