d-Matrix is looking for a Principal Architect, Performance Analysis and Modeling to accelerate AI application performance at the intersection of hardware and software. You will focus on emerging hardware technologies and workloads, analyzing their properties and proposing features for our next-generation data center inference accelerators.
What You'll Do
- Analyze the latest ML workloads, including multi-modal LLMs, CoT reasoning models, and video/audio-generation models.
- Contribute hardware and software features that power the next generation of inference accelerators.
- Keep up with the latest research in ML architecture and algorithms.
- Collaborate with partner teams including Product, Hardware design, Compiler, Inference Server, and Kernels.
- Analyze the properties of emerging machine learning algorithms and workloads to identify functional and performance implications.
- Create analytical models to project performance on current and future generations of d-Matrix hardware.
- Propose new hardware and software features to enable or accelerate these algorithms.
What We're Looking For
- A BSEE with 10+ years of industry experience or an MSEE with 8+ years of industry experience (preferred).
- A solid grasp, through academic or industry experience, in multiple relevant areas: computer architecture, hardware/software codesign, performance modeling, and ML fundamentals (particularly DNNs).
- Programming fluency in C/C++ or Python.
- Experience developing analytical performance models and architecture simulators for performance analysis.
- A self-motivated team player with a strong sense of collaboration and initiative.
Nice to Have
- A research background with a publication record in top-tier architecture or machine learning venues (such as ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS, HPCA, DAC, MLSys) is a significant plus.
Team & Environment
You will be a member of the architecture team, collaborating closely with Product, Hardware design, Compiler, Inference Server, and Kernels teams. Our culture is built on respect, collaboration, and direct communication. We value humility, inclusivity, and differing perspectives that lead to better solutions.
