Senior SW Engineer – Performance Modelling
We’re an innovative Deep Tech startup that’s disrupting the Data & Analytics industry. Our world-first Analytics Processing Unit (APU) provides unparalleled query performance and accelerates database operations beyond CPU bounds. We’re seeking an outstanding Senior SW Engineer to join our team of experts and develop advanced algorithms that power our breakthrough technology. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of data analytics — from the core!
Job Description
We’re looking for an experienced SW Developer to join our Simulators Team. You’ll design and develop our hardware simulators—functional and performance models that serve as the source of truth, drive architectural exploration and compiler optimization.
Our simulators model diverse cores within a cutting-edge SoC designed to accelerate Big Data and Database Analytics. You will collaborate closely with hardware and software teams, contributing to co-design efforts that influence architecture, tooling, and system-level behaviour.
Why Simulator Development is an Art—and Why You’ll Love It
Building simulators is more than coding—it’s an art! You’re creating a virtual world that predicts the behaviour of hardware that doesn’t exist yet. It’s a unique blend of architecture insight, algorithmic creativity, and perfecting abstraction levels. Where HW innovation meets reality for the first time, as ideas move from the dry spec document to a running system- and provide game-changing insight that impacts real silicon years down the line. If you enjoy SW craftsmanship, thinking ahead of the hardware curve, and influencing the DNA of future chips, this is where the fun begins.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain hardware simulators.
Collaborate with architecture, VLSI, and software teams to drive co-design initiatives.
Provide insights that influence chip architecture, compiler optimization, and system-level performance.
Develop tools that drive the chip development cycle.
Requirements
BSc (or higher) in Computer Science, Math, Physics or Electrical Engineering.
5+ years of experience developing hardware simulators..
Strong understanding of computer architecture and system-level modeling.
Proven track record in technical leadership.
Experience in SW-HW co-development environments, influencing both architecture and tooling.
Proficiency in Python and C++.
Solid software engineering skills, including design, testing, performance tuning, and maintainability.
