Distinguished Technologist - AI Model Performance Architect

Distinguished Technologist - AI Model Performance Architect

This role is responsible for bridging system memory architecture with AI model behavior ensuring optimal performance through HW/SW co-design and workload aware tuning. The role develops AI workload optimization strategies for faster model startup, improved inferencing efficiency, and reduced memory needs. It leverages technical and business expertise to outline strategy roadmaps for the function, identifies future growth opportunities, and addresses gaps with innovative solutions.

The role collaborates closely with various stakeholders, empowers teams to achieve remarkable and consequential outcomes, and spearheads industry‑leading research and development.

• Analyze system bandwidth, latency, and compute bottlenecks
• Model performance across CPU/GPU/NPU for AI workloads
• Simulate workload execution (PnP tradeoffs, resource contention)
• Optimize model execution (initialization time, caching, KV reuse)
• Drive HW/SW co‑design (memory, caching, scheduling)
• Partner with ML teams to align model structure with system architecture
• Leverage recognized technical and business expertise to define long‑term vision and strategy for electrical hardware design and development across multiple feature areas and divisional boundaries
• Develop technology roadmaps for electrical/hardware engineering team; identify gaps and solutions for future growth
