Senior Level
5+ years expNetpreme is seeking a Member of Technical Staff, Performance Modeling to develop and apply performance models for silicon and full systems. The role involves working closely with silicon architects and workload teams to evaluate architectural decisions and identify performance bottlenecks in the development cycle.
Computer Software
Responsibilities
Build and maintain performance models for our silicon, spanning individual components through full networked systems
Evaluate architectural decisions using end-to-end ML workloads, translating model outputs into actionable guidance for the silicon team
Work day-to-day with silicon architects, system designers, and workload owners to align performance expectations and constraints
Develop frameworks and methodologies for performance verification, including sanity checks, model validation, and comparison against empirical data
Identify performance bottlenecks, scaling limits, and sensitivity points across compute, memory, and interconnects
Clearly communicate modeling assumptions, limitations, and conclusions to both technical and non-specialist stakeholders
