About the role

Hybrid: 3 days a week in the office, in Mountain View, New York or London. As a Performance Modeling Engineer at Normal, you will build the transaction-level model (TLM) of our physics-inspired ASICs. It is the model that sits between RTL and the rest of our modeling stack, and that both our architects and our verification team rely on.

As a Performance Modeling Engineer at Normal, you will build the transaction-level model (TLM) of our physics-inspired ASICs. It is the model that sits between RTL and the rest of our modeling stack, and that both our architects and our verification team rely on.

You will own the path from RTL to the numerical performance results. You will correlate the TLM against RTL, FPGA prototypes, and synthesis results, then turn it into calibrated latency, bandwidth and energy parameters for kernel-level models. You will work closely with the architecture, hardware design and DV teams, using their feedback to help refine our end-to-end system.

The through-line is your modeling expertise, applied to an architecture that computes differently from...
