Any candidate submitted to Eridu without prior written authorization from our recruiting team will be considered unsolicited and will become the property of Eridu. Eridu reserves the right to pursue and hire such candidates without any obligation to pay fees. Recruiting agencies are expressly instructed not to contact hiring managers, employees, or executives regarding open positions. ## Description We are seeking a highly motivated Network Simulation Engineer to lead the simulation and analysis of AI communication workloads (e.g. collective communications) across various data center network topologies. In this role, you will apply network simulation tools to model real-world AI applications-including LLMs and DLRMs-to inform architectural decisions across Eridu's product development lifecycle and to showcase our value to prospective customers and investors. You will collaborate cross-functionally with customers, ASIC designers, and simulation tool providers to optimize performance, influence design, and deliver transformative AI networking solutions. Responsibilities * Model AI Workloads: Simulate communication patterns of distributed AI workloads (e.g., LLMs, DLRMs) across diverse network topologies to analyze performance and scalability. * Drive Architecture Optimization: Work with customers to evaluate their AI workloads and provide recommendations for topology design, protocol tuning, and system architecture. * Influence ASIC Design: Collaborate with the internal ASIC and architecture teams by providing simulation-based insights that shape chip design for optimized AI traffic flows. * Tool Development & Partnership: Interface with simulation tool providers (who have optimized versions of NS-3, ASTRA-sim, etc.) to customize, tune, and enhance modeling frameworks for Eridu's specific requirements and to operate these tools to run simulations. * Documentation & Communication: Create clear and compelling reports, documentation, and presentations to communicate insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders. ## Related Videos - [The Gashlycrumb Tinies of AI Networking You Must Know (or Languish!)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2067-the-gashlycrumb-tinies-of-ai-networking-you-must-know-or-languish) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
