About The Position

Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.
As we are just getting started with ASTRA-sim, the Head of Simulation and Modeling will be empowered to lead the effort, defining the simulation, modeling and emulation roadmap for the company. They will interface with a variety of internal teams and external partners with whom we are planning to collaborate, integrating existing estimation tools into the ASTRA-sim framework.

Requirements

• MS in Computer Engineering with exposure to computer architectures
• Familiarity with Gem5, ASTRA-sim or other similar architecture and distributed simulation platforms
• Familiarity with Verilog/VHDL RTL simulation platforms like VCS
• Exposure to the simulation environments used by the GPU/XPU supplier, hyperscalers and/or frontier labs for simulation AI workloads on various system and hardware architectures

Responsibilities

• Lead the effort to select and confirm Sygaldry's distributed simulation environment, with ASTRA-sim and Chakra functionality as part of the platform
• Set everything up the simulation infrastructure from scratch
• Define the simulation, modeling and emulation roadmap for the company
• Interface with a variety of internal teams and external collaboration partners
• Work with internal teams that have developed estimation tools to coach them and help them integrate these tools into the ASTRA-sim framework
