About the position

The C Modeling Engineer at Reality Labs will support C modeling and software interfaces for machine learning, computer vision, and other intellectual properties implemented in pre-silicon platforms with dedicated hardware accelerators. This role involves collaboration with a multidisciplinary team to drive the development of custom silicon for augmented and virtual reality devices, focusing on the entire stack from architecture to algorithms.

Responsibilities

• C/C++ programming for IP modeling and algorithm benchmarking.
• Mapping software to hardware accelerators for pre-silicon platforms.
• Analyzing software pipelines and building infrastructure and test plans to validate the C model using golden software pipelines.
• Working with the architecture team to understand SoC and IP architecture and developing methodologies for enabling software/hardware co-design using pre-silicon platforms.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams on RTL design, design verification, and firmware/software development.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 5+ years of experience modeling hardware using C programming language and proficient programming skills in C++.
• Demonstrated experience in mapping software use cases to hardware accelerators and custom silicon.
• Understanding of system-on-chip (SoC) architecture, IP C modeling, and ASIC design flow.

Nice-to-haves

• Demonstrated knowledge and experience in machine learning and computer vision hardware and software.
• Experience in RTL design verification with strong C modeling skills.
• Proficiency in performance modeling using SystemC and analyzing the performance of computer vision pipelines using pre-silicon models.
