Join d-Matrix and help build the future of AI inference. We’ve pioneered a memory-centric architecture that brings compute directly into memory, making AI faster, more energy efficient, and accessible on a global scale. From chips and software to rack-scale systems, our team is tackling some of AI infrastructure’s hardest challenges — and shipping breakthrough technology today. If you want to create what comes next and help make infinite inference possible, we’d love to hear from you.
Our culture is built on respect, collaboration, and direct communication. We value humility, we believe our different perspectives lead to better solutions, and we’re looking for people who are driven by execution and energized by hard problems.
Working onsite at our Santa Clara, CA headquarters 3 days per week hybrid. Will consider remote in the United States.
The role: Principal Architect, Performance Analysis and Modeling
d-Matrix is seeking outstanding computer architects to help accelerate AI application performance at the intersection of both hardware and software, with particular focus on emerging hardware technologies (such as DIMC, D2D, 3D-DRAM, etc.) and emerging workloads (such as generative inference, etc.). Our acceleration philosophy cuts through the system, ranging from efficient tensor cores, storage, and data movements along with co-design of dataflow and collective communication techniques.
What you will do:
As a member of the architecture team, you will analyze the latest ML workloads (multi-modal LLMs, CoT reasoning models, video/audio generation)
You will contribute hardware and software features that power the next generation of inference accelerators in datacenters
This role requires keeping up with the latest research in ML architecture and algorithms and collaborating with different partner teams, including Product, Hardware Design, Compiler, Inference Server, and Kernels
Your day-to-day work will include (1) analyzing the properties of emerging machine learning algorithms and workloads and identifying functional, performance implications (2) Creating analytical models to project performance on current and future generations of d-matrix hardware (3) proposing new HW/SW features to enable or accelerate these algorithms
What you will bring:
Minimum:
BSEE with 10+ years of industry experience or MSEE preferred with 8+ years of industry experience
Solid grasp through academic or industry experience in multiple of the relevant areas, computer architecture, hardware-software codesign, performance modeling, ML fundamentals (particularly DNNs)
Programming fluency in C/C++ or Python
Experience with developing analytical performance models, architecture simulators for performance analysis
Research background with publication record in top-tier architecture, or machine learning venues is a huge plus (such as ISCA, MICRO, ASPLOS, HPCA, DAC, MLSys etc.)
Self-motivated team player with strong sense of collaboration and initiative
