Your role

As a (Senior) Software Developer (C++/HPC), you are responsible for developing, debugging, profiling, optimizing, testing, and documenting low-level software emulating our analog AI chip as a digital twin. Working closely with the Concept and Research team, you will build performance-optimized and scalable software to emulate our hardware chip. This role involves implementing numerical models of physical systems through numerical mathematics and digital signal processing in a high-performance computing (HPC) context. You’ll work on preliminary investigations using a digital twin of our analog chip, designed for AI training and inference on the edge.

Design, implement, and optimize numerical models of physical systems using C++.
Apply methods of numerical mathematics and digital signal processing within an HPC environment.
Use HPC software design methods, e.g. multi-process/multi-node communication.
Parallelize algorithms using CUDA and multithreading to achieve high computational efficiency.
Profile and optimize computational workload to utilize available hardware fully
Write unit tests and/or employ test-driven development.
Create documentation and visualization of the developed software architecture.
Create technical reports and present findings to the team and external stakeholders.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (software and hardware engineers) to implement performance-optimized hardware emulators.
Support software development for preliminary research and investigations to advance our analog AI chip technology.
Lead theproject planning and management with an agile approach to ensure adequate progress and adaptation.
Work as a Dev-Ops engineer (development, testing, integration, and deployment).
Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices related to software engineering and solutions.

What you bring
