Job description

Job Details: Job Description: We're a hardware architecture and modeling team at the heart of Intel's IPU innovation, building models that range from individual components to full-system performance analysis. Our work enables architects to evaluate design choices, explore trade-offs, and make informed decisions long before silicon is built. In this role, you will collaborate closely with architects and engineers across multiple domains, translating architectural concepts into simulation and modeling environments that help predict system behavior, performance, scalability, and efficiency. This position offers a unique opportunity to combine architecture, performance analysis, modeling, and problem-solving while gaining exposure to complex networking and data-center technologies. If you are passionate about understanding how complex systems work, enjoy tackling challenging technical problems, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Qualifications

• B.Sc. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in hardware modeling, architectural modeling, performance modeling, simulation, or related areas.

Required Knowledge

• Computer architecture and microarchitecture fundamentals.
• System-level performance analysis and modeling concepts.
• Understanding of bandwidth, latency, data movement, and system bottlenecks.
• Familiarity with networking, packet-processing systems, high-performance computing systems, or related domains.
• Experience using modern AI-assisted engineering tools and methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SoC, ASIC, CPU, networking, AI/ML accelerator, storage, or data-center architectures.
• Experience developing simulation frameworks, virtual platforms, or performance models.
• Understanding of packet-processing, networking protocols, or large-scale system architectures.
