Summary:

Meta's Silicon Engineering organization is building custom silicon solutions that power the infrastructure underpinning Meta's AI and data center workloads at scale. As an ASIC Engineer specializing in performance and modeling, you will define and drive the architectural performance analysis, pre-silicon modeling, and microarchitectural exploration of custom ASICs designed for Meta's infrastructure. In this role, you will establish the performance modeling methodology and long-term silicon roadmap strategy, partnering with architecture, design, and software teams to ensure Meta's infrastructure silicon meets the demanding throughput, latency, and efficiency targets required at hyperscale.

Required Skills:

ASIC Engineer, Performance Architecture and Modeling Responsibilities:

1. Define and own the performance modeling strategy for custom infrastructure ASICs, including development of cycle-accurate and transaction-level simulation environments

2. Drive microarchitectural exploration and trade-off analysis across compute, memory subsystem, interconnect, and I/O domains to inform silicon architecture decisions

3. Develop and validate pre-silicon performance models that accurately predict post-silicon behavior for data center workloads

4. Develop low-level workloads and kernels for machine learning training and inference applications

5. Establish performance analysis methodologies, benchmarking frameworks, and bottleneck identification techniques across the full ASIC pipeline

6. Collaborate with architecture, RTL design, and physical design teams to translate performance requirements into implementable microarchitectural specifications

7. Partner with software and systems teams to co-optimize workload scheduling, firmware, and driver behavior against silicon performance characteristics

8. Lead cross-functional technical reviews and communicate performance modeling results and architectural recommendations to engineering leadership

9. Define long-term performance modeling infrastructure roadmaps, including tooling, automation, and simulation platform investments

10. Mentor other engineers on performance modeling techniques, simulation methodology, and microarchitectural analysis best practices

11. Identify and resolve performance gaps between modeled and measured silicon behavior through structured root-cause analysis and model calibration

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

12. 8+ years of experience in ASIC design, silicon engineering, or a related technical field

13. 5+ years of experience in ASIC performance modeling, microarchitectural analysis, or pre-silicon simulation for custom silicon or SoC designs

14. Proficiency in C++ and Python for developing simulation models, automation frameworks, and performance analysis tools

15. Experience developing cycle-accurate or transaction-level performance models using C++ and SystemC for complex digital systems including processors, memory subsystems, or high-speed interconnects

16. Experience with performance analysis of data center, AI accelerator, or high-performance computing workloads on custom silicon

17. Experience defining microarchitectural specifications and driving cross-functional alignment across architecture, RTL, and physical design teams

Preferred Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

18. Experience with hardware description languages (e.g., SystemVerilog, VHDL) and simulation environments used in ASIC development flows

19. Experience building or scaling performance modeling infrastructure for hyperscale data center ASICs, including network, storage, or AI inference accelerator designs

20. Familiarity with post-silicon performance validation and model-to-hardware correlation methodologies

21. Experience developing Python-based automation pipelines for simulation orchestration, regression testing, and performance data analysis

22. Experience with GPU, machine learning, multi-threaded programming paradigm

23. Experience with high-level synthesis, power-performance-area trade-off analysis, or PPA-driven microarchitectural optimization

Public Compensation:

$178,000/year to $250,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits
