Résumé du poste

Arago is seeking an Architecture Modeling Engineer to own performance modeling and workload analysis for its optical AI accelerator. You will work across hardware and software teams to evaluate design choices, shape the programming model, and optimize key compute kernels for silicon performance.

This role requires a strong math and hardware background, proficiency in C/C++ and Python, and the ability to translate workload behavior into architectural requirements.

Qualifications

• Strong background in linear algebra, probability, numerical methods, and performance analysis.
• Deep knowledge of computer architecture, including pipelines, memory hierarchies, interconnects, and parallel execution.
• Strong C/C++ and Python programming skills.
• Experience analyzing and optimizing performance-critical kernels or low-level compute workloads.
• Good understanding of AI/ML workloads, tensor operations, data movement, and common execution patterns.

Responsabilités

• Develop fast, flexible performance models to evaluate AI accelerator architecture choices and guide early design decisions.
• Work closely with the software team to characterize key AI workloads, kernels, dataflows, and system bottlenecks.
• Work closely with hardware architects to model compute, memory, interconnect, and scheduling behavior across proposed architectures.
• Drive rapid performance studies and trade-off analyses across throughput, latency, utilization, bandwidth, and efficiency.
• Help define and validate the programming model and workload mapping strategy for the accelerator.
• Following architecture definition, work hands-on with the software team to optimize compute kernels and key workloads for the target hardware.
• Build lightweight simulation, profiling, and analysis tools that support fast iteration from architecture exploration through software optimization.
