Cerebras seeks a performance architect to guide next-generation AI accelerator and system architectures. The work involves building analytical, simulation-based or trace-driven performance models, analyzing workloads from kernels to end-to-end inference and training, finding bottlenecks and quantifying the return of proposed hardware features. The posting asks for 7+ years in performance analysis or architecture exploration for CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators or similar, Python or C++ modeling, and an MS or PhD. It is not a production RTL design role; deliverables are models, insights and architectural recommendations.
