Job Description:

The role

Our GPU & AI hardware teams need an industry-leading automated tool stack to produce our upcoming IP roadmap. The ‘Hardware Tools & Flows’ team has been created to ensure a hyper-fast, resilient build system that optimizes tool use, scales with our needs, and maximizes simulation workloads on our distributed compute grid.

As a founding member, you will help shape our team culture, define tools, design principles, and standards, working in a bureaucracy-free environment focused on solving complex problems with pioneering, self-organizing teams.

You will:

• Create and maintain a scalable build system for multiple languages and targets, feeding machine learning algorithms with operational data.
• Optimize, refactor, and deprecate existing tools and scripts.
• Integrate and optimize external-vendor EDA tools & suites.
• Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines.
• Profile, optimize, and debug simulation workloads for performance.
• Collaborate with design & verification architects to refine requirements.
• Design and support tool flows to enhance engineer experience.

About you

You are committed to success, an excellent communicator, and a collaborative partner. You are curious, solutions-oriented, and a world-class problem solver, constantly seeking innovation and excellence.

Demonstrably, you:

• Develop performant object-oriented solutions in Python 3 on Unix.
• Write shell scripts and debug build systems.
• Debate test-driven development, CI, architecture, and revision control solutions.
• Translate imprecise problems into concrete requirements and solutions.
• Are a self-starter energized by complex problems.
• Lift team spirits and abilities.

Experience with one or more of the following is a plus:

• Hardware EDA tools (simulation, linting, synthesis)
• Containerization (Docker)
• Distributed compute and orchestration
• Jenkins automation
• Software templating and rendering
• Data engineering, data science, or machine learning
