Silicon Architect

The Role:

• You will be designing and architecting the next generation of Vorticity scientific computing engines
• Deliver the right tradeoffs for performance/watt/area; to accurately model and predict performance across a range of workloads
• Work with external design and fabrication partners to determine total cost and performance of various designs on various process nodes.
• Work with software teams to understand opportunities to deliver optimal performance
• Work with system teams to develop high performance system and memory interfaces
• Work with the compiler team to develop the best in class compiler for the architecture
• Clearly articulate the hardware roadmap to executive staff, stakeholders and customers
• Drive alignment across all functions on key aspects of the architecture

Skills & Qualifications:

• World class computer architect, with 6+ years of experience
• Demonstrated leadership of high-performance computing, machine learning or related fields
• Capability to drive fundamental changes in computer architecture
• Demonstrated ability to understand numerical methods to solve complex scientific computing problems through finite difference, implicit, explicit and spectral methods etc.
• Experience in chiplet based designs
• Knowledge of dataflow architectures
• Strong technical leadership skills across hardware and software.
• Ability to lead end-to-end workload analysis from low level assembly instruction code to high level distributed algorithms.
• Experience with performance analysis on: GPUs, TPU, parallel architectures / distributed systems, dataflow / spatial architectures, many-core multi-thread environments
• Experience with modeling and architecting a balanced optimized system across compute, memory and fabric.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Demonstrated ability to clearly articulate complex architectural tradeoffs while taking into consideration the audience's technical knowledge.
• PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
