Performance Modeling Engineer

About Etched Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history. Key responsibilities - Develop comprehensive performance models and projections for our architecture across varying workloads and configurations - Profile and analyze deep learning workloads on our hardware to identify micro-architectural bottlenecks and influence optimization opportunities - Drive hardware/software co-optimization by identifying where architectural features can unlock performance improvements - Run regressions and validate performance models against real systems and silicon - Inform next-generation architectural decisions by pathfinding across system and silicon options during design, proof-of-concept, and architecting phases You may be a good fit if you have at least one of the following: - Strong performance modeling and analysis skills with experience building analytical-based or simulation-based performance models - Solid understanding of computer architecture and micro-architecture, particularly for accelerators - Experience profiling and analyzing deep learning workloads on hardware accelerators (GPUs, TPUs, ASICs, FPGAs, or others) - Solid software engineering fundamentals with an eye toward auditability and…
