  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field
  • Experience with programming in C/C++ and Python (scripting)
  • Experience in computer architecture (NoC, DRAM, Cache, MMU)
  • Understanding of how to leverage performance modeling to support architectural exploration, with exposure to heterogeneous hardware architectures
  • Understanding of HW power, performance and area trade offs
  • Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Responsibilities

  • Build APIs and/or custom wrappers to integrate various perf modeling components, develop test suites to formally verify the functionality and performance of the integrated models
  • Identify areas of optimization to increase the speed of simulation infrastructure either through code refactoring or code restructuring
  • Conduct performance & power explorations of various architectural components using built performance models (including blocks such as NoC, DRAM, MMUs, etc)

Benefits

  • Employees at Meta are often offered comprehensive benefits, including medical/dental/vision coverage, mental-health resources, family planning support (fertility, adoption, surrogacy), and caregiving programs. Financial benefits typically include a competitive retirement plan, equity awards, life insurance, and access to financial coaching and legal support.
