- MSEE, MSCE, PhD, or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 18+ years of relevant industry or academic experience, including experience setting architecture direction for complex, high-performance systems.
- Deep understanding of system performance and scaling, including interactions among DRAM behavior, high-bandwidth fabrics such as NVLink, and C2C communication.
- Strong application-level intuition, including the ability to connect workload algorithms, parallelism, communication, locality, and data movement to architecture choices and measurable outcomes. We value experience with workload characterization, analytical or simulation-based performance modeling, bottleneck analysis, and architecture trade-off evaluation.
- We look for a record of identifying cross-domain opportunities that may not be visible when teams optimize individual components separately. We need demonstrated ability to create and advance a multi-generation technical strategy through influence across silicon, systems, software, and application teams.
- We value clear communication and sound judgment in ambiguous technical areas, with the ability to explain complex system trade-offs to specialists and executive leaders. We also look for experience mentoring senior engineers into broader architecture leadership roles and building strong technical communities.
Ways To Stand Out from the crowd
- If you have shaped product or technology roadmaps around application-level scaling needs, helped architecture teams build a quantitative understanding of bottlenecks across memory, interconnect, compute, and software, or identified high-impact trade-offs early enough to guide product, architecture, or technology investment.
- We will also value examples where your work delivered measurable end-to-end improvements in performance, efficiency, or scaling for priority applications.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and other objective job-related factors. The expected base salary range for this position is 320,000 USD – 488,750 USD.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until November 3, 2026.
