Responsibilities

  • Contribute to developer infrastructure, including simulation and HW emulation platforms.
  • Understand and contribute to the collective communications library for Meta's AI/ML superclusters.
  • Support networking and compute hardware acceleration techniques to improve ML inference and training model performance.
  • Perform architectural analysis to ensure system designs meet performance, scalability, and reliability requirements.
  • Implement simulation models for Meta's Accelerator ASICs and analyze scenarios to evaluate data center performance.
  • Collaborate with architects and engineers to integrate simulation results into system design processes.
  • Use instruction set simulators to define performant firmware for Meta's training/inference accelerators.
  • Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to ensure accurate modeling and simulation of accelerator functionalities.
  • Analyze simulation results to guide firmware development and optimization efforts.

Benefits
