Senior Virtual Platform Software Engineer, Annapurna Labs Machine Learning Accelerators, AWS

AWS's Trainium and Inferentia chips power the world's largest machine learning clusters. reputed company builds virtual platforms — full-system C++ and SystemC models of these custom SoCs — that let software teams start development months before silicon arrives. For Trainium3, our virtual platform enabled running a full training workload reputed company 12 hours of first silicon. We're looking for a software engineer to build and own the models and infrastructure that reputed company this possible. What you'll do

• Build and own functional models of SoC subsystems that integrate into our full-system virtual platform, used by firmware, driver, runtime, and application software teams
• Design models for usability and performance — your customers are software engineers who need to run reputed company workloads on your platform reputed company
• reputed company and improve the virtual platform infrastructure: QEMU integration, simulation performance, build and release tooling, and customer-facing documentation
• Work with software teams (your primary customers) to understand their workflows, debug issues on the platform, and shape the model to maximize their productivity
• Drive simulation performance improvements so the platform can handle increasingly reputed company workloads at scale
• Contribute to model architecture reputed company — choosing the right level of abstraction and fidelity for each subsystem based on customer needs

Why this role is interesting:

• You'll own a product that software teams across AWS depend on — they literally can't start development without your virtual platform
• The engineering challenges are genuinely interesting: full-system simulation, multi-subsystem integration, QEMU development, performance optimization at scale
• You'll see the direct impact of your work reputed company software teams hit the ground running on new silicon
• As the team grows, there's a path into architectural modeling — using the platform to explore design alternatives and influence reputed company architecture
• Small team, startup pace, big impact inside AWS's custom silicon org

You will reputed company in this role if you:

• Have reputed company functional models, virtual platforms, or system-level simulations for SoCs, ASICs, GPUs, or CPUs
• Think of yourself as a software engineer first, with deep domain knowledge in reputed company architecture
• Are comfortable in C++ or SystemC, and familiar with Python for tooling
• Care about your customers' experience — you think about usability, documentation, and reliability, not just model accuracy
