Junior System Modeling
Originally posted April 3, 2026 by the employer. Relisted by the employer on November 14, 2026.
About the role
As a Junior System Modeling engineer, you will work closely with senior engineers to contribute to the development of multi-disciplinary simulation frameworks.
What you'll do
- Assist in integrating physics-based device and system models into the PyTorch simulation environment to expose early algorithm–hardware tradeoffs and enable cross-layer optimization.
- Support the maintenance and extension of the unified end-to-end simulation environment, linking theory, algorithms, and device models while ensuring alignment between high-level and near-physical simulators.
- Help implement and adhere to robust experiment tracking protocols to ensure simulation results, configurations, and non-idealities are reproducible and auditable.
- Collaborate with Algorithms and Hardware teams to gather requirements and ensure the modeling environment meets needs for high-level algorithm development and lower-level hardware verification.
What you'll need
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, with a foundation in computer architecture and operating systems.
- Strong coding skills in C++ and Python for writing performance-critical code.
- Basic familiarity with deep learning framework internals (such as PyTorch graph execution) and common model architectures.
- Solid grasp of linear algebra and calculus for neural dynamics and hardware optimizations.
Nice to have
- Experience with compilers (LLVM, MLIR) or domain-specific languages like Triton.
- Exposure to GPU programming (CUDA) or other hardware accelerators.
- Prior research or internship experience in high-performance computing (HPC) or neuromorphic systems.
- Contributions to open-source AI or systems software projects.

How we counted: 520 open SoC/Chip Architecture (SOC Architecture) roles from 70 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
