AI Systems Performance and Simulation Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description:

• Job Description:
• About the Role and Team
• The Intel DCG AISOC organization is developing high-performance accelerated AI platforms. Real-world inference performance, latency SLOs, and TCO are governed by full-system interplay: dynamic batching, distributed KV cache movement, scale-up fabrics, and heterogeneous host-accelerator memory hierarchies.
• We are seeking a highly motivated, versatile College Graduate who is a proactive self-starter, hands-on problem solver, and enthusiastic team player. In this role, you will work alongside senior architects to develop, calibrate, and execute simulations modeling next-generation AI hardware and software architectures.
• ________________________________________
• Key Responsibilities:
• 1. Simulation Platform and Frontend Development
• •Hands-on Feature Implementation: Write clean, modular, and performance-oriented Python or C++ code to implement core simulator features and hardware behavioral models.
• •Web Frontend and Visualization: Develop lightweight Web Frontends and interactive dashboards to help users configure simulations and visualize complex performance metrics.
• •Model Calibration: Benchmark and profile baseline AI hardware and serving engines (e.g., vLLM) to extract empirical performance data and calibrate simulator parameters.
• 2. Simulation Execution and Bottleneck Triage
• •Trace Replay and Analysis: Run simulation sweeps to replay dynamic production traces (Agentic, multi-turn workloads) and proactively analyze logs to identify system bottlenecks.
• •Documentation: Document simulation workflows, setup guides, and tool usage instructions clearly to empower stakeholders.
• 3. Collaboration and Communication
• •Proactive Engagement: Reach out to senior architects and software teams to understand their requirements and translate feedback into simulator improvements.
• •Global Synergy: Present findings and tool demos clearly in English, collaborating effectively as a supportive team player in a global engineering environment.

Qualifications:

• Qualifications:
• Minimum Qualifications:
• •Education: Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related quantitative field (Graduating in 2026/2027).
• •Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in Python or C++, with basic web development skills.
• •Systems Foundation: Solid academic understanding of computer architecture (memory hierarchies, caching, pipelining) and operating systems.
• Soft Skills and Professional Attributes (Critical):
• •Proactive and Self-Driven: Takes initiative to solve problems and explore unfamiliar domains without waiting for step-by-step instructions.
• •Hands-on Mindset: Strong track record of learning by doing through personal coding projects, GitHub repositories, or academic labs.
• •Communication and English: Excellent verbal and written English skills to document work and confidently collaborate with global teams daily.
• •Team Player: Highly collaborative, receptive to feedback, and committed to sharing knowledge.
• ________________________________________
• Preferred Qualifications:
• •Simulation Experience: Academic projects or internships involving discrete-event simulators or performance modeling.
• •Frontend and Visualization: Experience with web and plotting libraries.
• •AI/LLM Basics: Familiarity with Transformer architectures or inference mechanics (batching, KV cache).

We're looking for highly motivated individuals eager to shape the future of artificial intelligence and make a meaningful impact through their work. Join us to collaborate with leading experts, expand your skills, and contribute to game-changing innovations in AI and data solutions.
