We're Hiring: Memory Systems Engineer
We are actively seeking a Memory Systems Engineer who enjoys a challenge for our office in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Responsibilities and Authority
- Architectural performance simulations using application traces or synthetic workloads to quantify the effects of various memory subsystems.
- FPGA prototyping of memory subsystems in the lab for functional and performance validation; off-the-shelf FPGA boards are acceptable.
- Analysis of configurations of memory controllers and their impact on computer system performance.
- Participate in SoC architecture design and analysis, particularly being responsible for memory controllers.
- Assist the engineering team in formulating and executing design verification and validation plans around DRAM controllers and memory.
Required Competencies – Experience
- Proven experience in designing a DRAM controller and testing it using either FPGA or ASICs.
- Experience in DRAM performance modeling and characterization in either an industrial or academic setting.
- Ability to correlate key application performance to DRAM subsystem capabilities through trace gathering or directed testing techniques; key applications may include databases, machine learning, or search.
- Working knowledge of the Linux kernel, with a strong preference for some development or testing work.
- Experience in architectural simulations of computer systems, with a focus on DRAM subsystems.
Required Competencies – Skills
- Master's Degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or an equivalent field.
- FPGA design and implementation experience for complex systems, including memory controllers.
- C/C++ coding proficiency, particularly for Linux systems and architecture simulations.
- Benchmarking high-performance applications, particularly in databases, machine learning/AI, search indexes, or streaming analytics.
- Familiarity with DRAM internal device architecture and its impact on computer performance.
- Knowledge of computer systems architecture, including protocols such as CXL, PCIe, and AXI.
- Proficiency in Verilog/VHDL for RTL design and/or verification.
