In this role, you'll conduct open- and closed-loop performance analysis to evaluate advanced memory solutions against existing paradigms, partnering with internal engineering teams and external customers to shape future product and technology decisions. You'll build, calibrate, and validate timing-approximate and cycle-accurate models across memory devices, controllers, interconnects, processors, and full SoC subsystems-then translate results into architecture guidance that influences real product direction. This role spans the full modeling lifecycle, from component-level analysis to full system-level benchmarking. Responsibilities * Develop, calibrate, and maintain timing-approximate and cycle-accurate models of memory devices, controllers, interconnects, processors, and SoC subsystems. * Perform component- and system-level performance analysis, benchmarking, and characterization across AI, server, and mobile workloads. * Select simulation tools and environments, generate or acquire representative workloads, and build performance monitoring for metrics such as latency, bandwidth, energy, and cycle-level statistics. * Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external customers to optimize architectures and provide data-driven guidance on microarchitecture tradeoffs. * Integrate and document models into larger SoC- and platform-level performance frameworks, identifying bottlenecks and recommending corrective actions. ## Related Videos - [The Billion Dollar Machine: First Time Right.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/393-the-billion-dollar-machine-first-time-right) - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [How Data is Shaping our Games](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/176-how-data-is-shaping-our-games) ## Related Articles - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Introducing Redis Agent Memory Server](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/699-introducing-redis-agent-memory-server) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering)
