Architecture Modeling Engineer

Responsibilities

• Architect and create various types of hardware models with varying goals - e.g. transaction-level, cycle-accurate.
• Create or build on top of existing hardware models to simulate functionality of custom AI software.
• Create prototyping models for estimating power, performance and area of new chip architectures.
• Create cycle-accurate models of the hardware (C++/SystemC).
• Collaborate with peer engineering teams to co-design and co-verify the hardware implementation.
• Investigate new architectural ideas, many co-designed with other system components.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 5+ years experience required creating performance models for architectural investigations. This experience can include time spent in academic work including papers, thesis, and dissertation work. The years required can be reduced if prior modeling experience is related to systems for AI.
• Academic and working knowledge of a variety of hardware concepts such as CPUs, memory systems, bus interconnects, security, chip interfaces, etc.
• Proficiency and experience with C++/SystemC as used in modeling.
• Proficiency and experience with hardware modeling for performance and/or power.
• Strong communication skills, both written and spoken.
