[Hiring] Systems Engineer, Experiments & Integration @Positron Corporation

Role Description

As a Systems Engineer on our Experiments & Integration team, you will be the engineer who answers the urgent questions. Hardware, software, and customer teams bring the simulation team a steady stream of unplanned requests:

• Run this model on the emulator
• Measure that bottleneck
• Help this team integrate

You will work across all of those teams, on both simulation and hardware emulation, to turn each request into a fast, measured answer. The work is varied and hands-on:

• Standing up a new model on the emulator
• Profiling where time goes
• Trying a configuration a stakeholder wants to see

You will own this queue so the engineers building the roadmap can stay focused on it, and you will leave each investigation behind as a reusable model, test, or script.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience as a hands-on systems or performance engineer.
• Demonstrated experience running LLM inference workloads end to end and finding where time goes, including weight loading, memory bandwidth, and host-device synchronization.
• A strong understanding of performance measurement, including counters, execution traces, profiling, and reporting results with their limits.
• Hands-on experience with host-side driver and runtime code, and comfort working close to hardware.
• Ability to move fast on loosely specified requests, make assumptions explicit, and finish by making the result repeatable.
• Strong Rust skills, or expert-level C/C++ skills and a willingness to work in Rust day to day, along with proficiency in Python and fluency with Linux, shell scripting, containers, and CI.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to give stakeholders a direct answer, what it rests on, and what to do next.

Requirements

• Experience with hardware emulators such as Cadence Palladium or Synopsys ZeBu, or with FPGA boards.
• A track record of bringing up new workloads on early or unstable hardware.

Benefits

• Fully company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents.
• Company-paid life and disability coverage, with voluntary options to add more.
• Supplemental hospital, critical illness, and accident coverage available.
• Unlimited paid time off; we encourage everyone to truly unplug and recharge.
• 13 paid company holidays.
• Remote-first culture with a company-provided computer and home office setup.
• Competitive salary and equity.
• 401(k) with company matching, eligible from day one.
