Job summary

Annapurna Labs in Cupertino, CA, USA, seeks a software engineer to build and own full-system virtual platform models of SoCs for Trainium/Inferentia families. You will develop functional models in C++/SystemC, contribute to QEMU-based infrastructure, and deliver usable, high-performance simulations for firmware, driver, runtime, and application software teams.

You will work with Python tooling, mentor teammates, and influence model architecture as the team scales, while focusing on usability,

Qualifications

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 7+ years of non-internship professional experience writing functional or performance models.
• Experience programming with C++ and/or SystemC.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
• Experience developing models that integrate with QEMU.
• Experience with PyTest and GoogleTest.

Responsibilities

• Build and own functional models of SoC subsystems that integrate into our full-system virtual platform, used by firmware, driver, runtime, and application software teams.
• Develop and improve the virtual platform infrastructure: QEMU integration, simulation performance, build and release tooling, and customer-facing documentation.
• Design models for usability and performance — your customers are software engineers who need to run real workloads on your platform efficiently.
• Develop and improve the virtual platform infrastructure: QEMU integration, simulation performance, build and release tooling, and customer-facing documentation.
• Work with software teams (your primary customers) to understand their workflows, debug issues on the platform, and shape the model to maximize their productivity.
• Drive simulation performance improvements so the platform can handle increasingly complex workloads at scale.
• Contribute to model architecture decisions — choosing the right level of abstraction and fidelity for each subsystem based on customer needs.
