The simulators you build will be critical for pre-silicon development, allowing the whole team to develop software before hardware is available. This is an opportunity to work with a dedicated engineering team, collaborating with a large set of cross-functional partners. The program carries top-level executive visibility as a key AI infrastructure initiative, and the team values deep technical contributions with extensive knowledge-sharing., 1. Contribute to our developer infrastructure, including simulation and HW emulation platforms, to enable performance measurement and optimization for Meta's in-house accelerator programs 2. Support networking and compute hardware acceleration techniques to improve ML inference and training model performance 3. Implement simulation models for Meta's Accelerator ASICs, develop and analyze various scenarios to evaluate data center performance and identify potential improvements 4. Perform an architectural analysis to ensure that system designs meet performance, scalability, and reliability requirements 5. Collaborate with architects and engineers to integrate simulation results into system design processes 6. Use instruction set simulators to define performant firmware for Meta's training/inference accelerators 7. Collaborate with hardware teams to ensure accurate modeling and simulation of accelerator functionalities ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
