The Team The D‑Matrix Simulation and Modeling team provides a Virtual Platform that enables software development early in the product cycle.

The Platform Includes

• Bit‑accurate functional reference models
• Cycle‑approximate simulations
• Detailed cycle‑accurate simulations

The platform is written in C++ and Python , and makes heavy use of generators and run‑time configuration. Many simulations are large‑scale, and the platform supports distributed workloads .

The Role You will help develop functional reference models and performance simulators that support early software development and architectural exploration.

In This Role, You Will

• Learn to interpret hardware specification documents and assist in developing algorithmic or transactional models of hardware behavior
• Collaborate with senior engineers, architects, and hardware designers to clarify documentation and resolve issues
• Contribute to modeling infrastructure under the guidance of experienced team members
• Participate in model bring‑up, testing, and correlation efforts
• Support debug activities across workloads and architectural scenarios

You You are excited about computer architecture , simulation , and system‑level modeling .

You have strong fundamentals in C++ and an interest in building accurate and efficient models of hardware behavior.

You enjoy learning complex systems, asking good questions, and working closely with others to solve problems.

You are curious about transaction‑level modeling and eager to learn how simulation tools are built and used in large‑scale development environments.

Qualifications Required Qualifications

• BS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• Strong programming skills in C++
• Familiarity with Python for scripting or tooling
• Understanding of computer architecture fundamentals (pipelines, memory hierarchy, etc.)
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment

Desired Qualifications

• Coursework, internships, or projects involving hardware modeling, simulation, or computer architecture
• Exposure to transaction‑based modeling frameworks (e.g., SystemC, SPARTA, gem5)
• Experience with event‑driven simulation, numeric representations, or related topics
• Interest or experience in distributed systems, HPC, or cloud‑based computing
• Familiarity with common machine‑learning workloads or models (e.g., BERT, GPT, Llama)
