AI SoC Modeling Engineer, Annapurna Labs Machine Learning Accelerators, AWS

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity models of accelerator and SoC subsystems, translating architecture specifications and RTL behavior into testable models.
• Validate models against RTL simulations, emulation, or silicon measurements and integrate them into pre-silicon verification flows.
• Collaborate across architecture, design, verification, software, and compiler teams to assess design tradeoffs and improve modeling tools and infrastructure.

What they ask for

• Experience programming in languages such as C/C++, Python, Java, or Perl.
• 2+ years writing functional or performance models of hardware such as SoCs, ASICs, GPUs, CPUs, or IP blocks.
• Familiarity with SoC, CPU, GPU, and/or ASIC architecture and micro-architecture.

Nice to have

• Experience with SystemC or TLM-based modeling, RTL correlation, or performance modeling.
• Familiarity with Modern C++ (20 and beyond), PyTest, GoogleTest, or multi-threaded simulation.
