Senior SoC Systems Software Engineer — ML Accelerators

Amazon Web Services (AWS); Austin (TX); On-site; USD 168,100 - 227,400; Full time

Job summary

Annapurna Labs (U.S.) Inc. in the United States is seeking a Systems Software Engineer to work at the hardware/ software boundary for pre-silicon and post-silicon challenges. You will own SoC model components and debug complex interactions across the full stack, from models to live silicon, collaborating with architects and ML teams.

You will contribute to hardware feature design from a software perspective and build tooling and automation to accelerate development across the team.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, reviews, source control, builds, testing and operations.
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.
• 7+ years of professional experience developing firmware, drivers, runtime software, or low-level systems software for SoCs/ASICs/GPUs/CPUs/FPGAs.
• Experience programming in C++, Python, and/or Rust (preference for at least 2).
• Knowledge of SoC, CPU, GPU, and/or ASIC architecture and micro-architecture.

Responsibilities

• Develop and own components of our SoC models, both single-chip and at the datacenter-scale level.
• Debug complex hardware/software interactions across the full software stack — from register-level bring-up on functional models and emulators, to performance analysis on live silicon.
• Collaborate with chip architects, RTL designers, modelers, compiler engineers, and ML framework teams to co-design and validate the hardware/software interface.
• Contribute to the design of hardware features by providing a software perspective early in the chip development cycle.
• Build tooling, test infrastructure, and automation that accelerates development for yourself and your teammates.
