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 eams 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, definition of system/hardware architectural specification.
• Responsible for conducting sector research  on trend and custom requirements for machine learning algorithms and accelerators

Required Skills:

We expect a candidate to have the following 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 on 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, TensorFlow is a big plus)
• Self-directed, ability to work with minimal supervision
