About the Role

You will be the first responder for urgent simulation and emulation requests from hardware, software, and customer teams. You will run quick experiments and demos, such as getting a new LLM running on the emulator, profile where time goes, and measure performance using counters, traces, and end-to-end timing. You will help other teams integrate with simulators and emulation, and turn each investigation into a reusable asset.

Requirements

  • 4+ years as a hands-on systems or performance engineer
  • Experience running LLM inference workloads end to end and finding where time goes
  • Strong understanding of performance measurement, counters, traces, and profiling
  • Hands-on experience with host-side driver and runtime code
  • Ability to move fast on loosely specified requests and make results repeatable
  • Strong Rust skills, or expert C/C++ with willingness to work in Rust; proficiency in Python; fluency with Linux, shell scripting, containers, and CI
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Authorized to work in the U.S.

  • Help other teams build on the simulators and emulation setup
  • Convert each investigation into a reusable asset such as a calibrated model, repeatable experiment, or regression test
