The Role:

You will be the Chief Silicon Architect for the next generation of Vorticity scientific computing engines
Hire and lead a silicon architecture team team to deliver the right tradeoffs for performance/watt/area; to accurately model and predict performance across a range of workloads
Work with external design houses and fabrication vendors to determine total cost and performance of various designs on various process nodes.
Work with software teams to understand opportunities to deliver optimal performance
Work with system teams to develop high performance system and memory interfaces
Clearly articulate the hardware roadmap to executive staff, stakeholders and customers
Drive alignment across all functions on key aspects of the architecture

Skills & Qualifications:

World class computer architect, with 10+ years of experience
Demonstrated leadership of high-performance computing, machine learning or related fields
Capability to drive fundamental changes in computer architecture
Demonstrated ability to understand numerical methods to solve complex scientific computing problems through finite difference, implicit, explicit and spectral methods etc.
Detailed experience of many core designs
Detailed knowledge of dataflow architectures and tradeoffs
Strong technical leadership skills across hardware and software.
Ability to lead end-to-end workload analysis from low level assembly instruction code to high level distributed algorithms.
Experience with performance analysis on: CPUs, GPUs, TPU, parallel architectures / distributed systems, dataflow / spatial architectures, many-core multi-thread environments
Experience with modeling and architecting a balanced optimized system across compute, memory and fabric.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Demonstrated ability to clearly articulate complex architectural tradeoffs while taking into consideration the audience's technical knowledge.
