Extend and adapt simulation infrastructure to model new micro-architecture innovations for AI inference. Analyze performance for current and forward-looking AI inference workloads across latency, throughput, and efficiency dimensions. Drive design-space exploration using AI-assisted workflows, automation, and large-scale experiment generation. Communicate performance insights clearly and influence architecture decisions through data-driven recommendations. Collaborate closely with chip, system, and software architects to propose, evaluate, and iterate on architectural variations. Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related technical field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience with coding in languages including, but not limited to C/C++, Python OR equivalent experience. Advanced Degree (Master's, Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. Experience in chip architecture or micro-architecture analysis at the logical level, including memory, functional units, memory controllers, and Input/Output (I/O) controllers. Experience in performance engineering, including profiling, bottleneck analysis, experimental design, and micro-architecture trade-off analysis. Experience using performance modeling or simulation to evaluate hardware/software trade-offs across chip, system, and software teams. Experience with AI inference acceleration features and accelerator or Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) performance analysis. Experience with the AI inference software stack, including compilers, runtimes, and model serving systems. Experience modifying architectural simulators or performance modeling codebases (e.g., C, C++, or Python).

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
