The role: Principal Software Engineer, Performance Analysis and Modeling

d-Matrix is looking for a computer engineer to help analyze and model performance across the hardware/software boundary of our AI inference accelerators. This role focuses on emerging hardware technologies (DIMC, D2D, 3D-DRAM) and emerging workloads (generative inference, multi-modal LLMs) — building the analytical models and simulation tools that let the architecture team project performance on current and future d-Matrix silicon. You'll work closely with Hardware Design, Compiler, Inference Server, and Kernels teams, translating workload analysis into concrete modeling inputs and surfacing HW/SW improvement opportunities. This is a hands-on technical contributor role within the broader architecture organization.

What You Will Do

- Analyze emerging ML workloads, multi-modal LLMs, CoT reasoning models, and video/audio generation to identify performance-relevant properties.

- Build and maintain analytical performance models that project behavior on current and future d-Matrix hardware generations.

- Develop and extend architecture simulators to support performance analysis of proposed HW/SW features.

- Partner with hardware design, compiler, inference server, kernel, and product teams to validate modeling assumptions and surface downstream implications.

- Track relevant ML architecture and algorithms research and incorporate findings into modeling work.

- Propose targeted HW/SW feature improvements based on modeling results and workload analysis.

- Document modeling methodology and findings for reuse across the architecture team.

What You Will Bring

- BSEE with 6+ years of industry experience, or MSEE with 4+ years of industry experience.

- Working knowledge of computer architecture, HW/SW co-design, performance modeling, and ML fundamentals (particularly DNNs).

- Programming fluency in C/C++ or Python.

- Experience building or working with analytical performance models or architecture simulators.

- Self-motivated and collaborative, comfortable working across hardware and software teams.

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience optimizing AI/ML workloads on accelerator technologies

- Research and investigation in AI/ML architecture/microarchitecture

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
