Simulation Tools Lead

Syntacore is a leading provider of microprocessor technologies and tools, based on the opens RISC-V architecture, founding member of RISC-V International. We create flexible, highly-efficient processor technologies, which help customers to design unique solutions for the IoT, data storage and processing, embedded systems, cognitive, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. Our products are silicon-proven at multiple clients worldwide, including high-performance heterogenous multi-core systems with complex customization and ISA extensions at technology nodes up to 5nm.

We are actively involved into RISC-V standardization, contributing to number of WGs and relevant conferences. Our open-source SCR1 core published under permissive license became one of the most popular RISC-V processor GitHub projects.

Responsibilities:

• Define overall strategy and tasks for RISC-V processor simulators of multiple levels and goals from fast functional-level (QEMU) for application development, accurate ISA-level (Spike, etc.), to accurate cycle-approximate for architecture exploration (MARSS, GEM5, SPARTA, etc.)
• Communicate with stakeholders from SoC simulators, developer ecosystem, verification teams and architects
• Develop processor and system simulation models with RISC-V processor family starting from embedded microcontrollers up to high-performance super-scalar cores, implement new ISA extensions and new instructions
• Work with open-source community, upstreaming changes to reduce maintenance costs and influence RISC-V community
• Hire new team members, define tasks, and review performance

Essential skills:

• Experience with С/C++ and scripting languages
• Experience developing simulation tools
• Team lead experience or equivalent
• Experience in Linux development environment
• Understanding of at least one processor architecture

Desirable:

• Team lead experience of 3+ years
• Development of core and system-level performance tools
• Contributions to open-source projects
• Knowledge of RISC-V ISA

What we offer :

• Competitive compensation, bonuses
• Flexible working hours
• Challenging tasks in friendly environment
• Professional and career growth
• Conferences/publications opportunities for interested parties

Would consider motivated prospects with partial skills match.
