## About the role

We are seeking a modeling architect for hands-on architecture modeling of the T100 optical inference accelerator, with hardware/software co-design in the loop. You will work alongside senior engineers across two tracks. The first is analytical and system performance: roofline and limiter analyses, architecture performance models, workload setup, and the resulting plots and reports.

## What they're looking for

- BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in hardware modeling, performance simulation, computer architecture, or related work
- Proficiency in Python or modern C++ (C++17 or later). Python-first and C++-first backgrounds are both welcome
- Working knowledge of computer architecture and microarchitecture, including pipelines, caches, memory hierarchies, and instruction set architecture (ISA)
- Ability to turn an LLM, GEMM, or accelerator paper into a workload config using Hugging Face or PyTorch
- Strong debugging skills and the habit of writing down what was run, what was assumed, and what the number means
