TL;DR · Applied Machine Learning Engineer, Platform Architecture

The Applied Machine Learning Engineer, Platform Architecture joins the SoC Architecture team to build ML and generative AI systems that shape future silicon architecture. You will design and build advanced ML and generative AI workflows to automate workload analysis and architectural exploration. Your daily responsibilities include applying deep learning techniques to large-scale time-series telemetry to identify hardware and software improvements. You will translate these insights into concrete changes for fabric, memory subsystems, and power-management policies, partnering with silicon and OS teams to validate results on real silicon. Required skills include Python, modern deep learning frameworks, and experience deploying complex ML systems in production. The role focuses on optimizing the performance-power tradeoff space and searching large configuration spaces to improve performance per watt across the full product lifecycle.

What you'll do

  • Design and build advanced ML and generative AI workflows to automate workload analysis.
  • Apply deep learning techniques to large-scale time-series telemetry to inform architectural improvements.
  • Translate data insights into concrete hardware and software changes for performance and power optimization.
  • Partner with silicon and OS teams to implement and validate changes on real silicon.
  • Manage the full product lifecycle from ML-driven research to shipping final hardware and software.
  • Optimize performance-power tradeoffs across fabric, memory subsystems, and cache systems.
  • Train large-scale models across distributed clusters to drive architectural decisions.
  • Build stateful, multi-turn agentic frameworks and complex execution flows.

What we're looking for

  • B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Applied ML industry experience deploying complex ML systems in production.
  • Experience applying modern ML techniques to large real-world datasets.
  • Programming experience in Python and modern deep learning frameworks.
  • Working knowledge of SoC compute, memory, and power-management subsystems and C/C++ modeling infrastructure (preferred).
  • Depth in time-series analysis, including feature engineering on streaming telemetry (preferred).
  • Experience applying ML for driving decisions, optimizing policies, and searching large configuration spaces (preferred).
  • Track record of training large-scale models across distributed clusters (preferred).
