Location: Austin, TX or Palo Alto, CA; hybrid

Salary: $120,000–$225,000+ annually

Company

hirify.global develops analog AI computing technology and next-generation AI processors for edge, cloud, data center, industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense applications.

What you will do

• Architect and create transaction-level, cycle-accurate, and other hardware models.
• Build models that simulate custom AI software and predict how compiler-generated workloads will run on silicon.
• Develop prototype models to estimate power, performance, and area for new chip architectures.
• Create cycle-accurate hardware models using C++ and SystemC.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to co-design and co-verify hardware implementations.
• Investigate architectural concepts developed with other system components and use modeling to guide software optimization.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience creating performance models for architectural investigations; academic modeling work may count, and the requirement may be reduced for AI systems modeling experience.
• Academic and practical knowledge of CPUs, memory systems, bus interconnects, security, chip interfaces, and related hardware concepts.
• Proficiency with C++ and SystemC for hardware modeling.
• Experience with hardware performance and/or power modeling.
• Strong written and spoken communication skills.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative and respectful engineering environment.
• Tools, support, and autonomy to deliver results.
• Work alongside colleagues with diverse experiences and perspectives.
• Professionalism, creativity, integrity, and meaningful contribution are valued.
