CAREER

Think Silicon, an Applied Materials company, is seeking an experienced architect with a strong hardware background to architect and model a highly scalable deep learning accelerator for our next-generation GPUs and AI Processors. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional engineering and product teams to identify and gather requirements and you will partner with teams to model and architect novel accelerators, and systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Build functional, performance models in C/C++ for AI accelerators
• Responsible for the architecture and micro-architecture specification development
• Accountable for performance estimation and modeling of AI workloads
• Collaborate closely with other key software and hardware architects on architectural pathfinding, and definition of system/hardware architectural specification.
• Responsible for conducting sector research on trend and custom requirements for machine learning algorithms and accelerators.

Required Skills

• Strong foundation in computer architecture, micro-architecture design, and performance analysis with an emphasis on hardware/software co-design.
• Strong software skills and proficiency in C/C++ and a scripting language such as Python. Experience working on performance model development and experimentation (GPU or CPU)
• Knowledge and experience with AI benchmarks and workloads
• Experience in hardware and RTL implementation (System Verilog) is a big plus
• Knowledge in compiler design and machine learning compiler optimizations
• Strong communication, influence, and negotiation skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team

Preferred Skills

• Ability to understand and solve problems leveraging cross-stack optimizations from algorithms to silicon
• Experience in Deep Learning frameworks like (PyTorch, and TensorFlow is a big plus)
• Self-directed, ability to work with minimal supervision
