Senior Virtual Platform Software Engineer, Annapurna Labs Machine Learning Accelerators, AWS
Amazon • Cupertino, CA • Posted June 02, 2026
About the Role
Description
AWS's Trainium and Inferentia chips power the world's largest machine learning clusters. Our team builds virtual platforms — full-system C++ and SystemC models of these custom SoCs — that let software teams start development months before silicon arrives. For Trainium3, our virtual platform enabled running a full training workload within 12 hours of first silicon. We're looking for a software engineer to build and own the models and infrastructure that make this possible.
What you'll do:
- Build and own functional models of SoC subsystems that integrate into our full-system virtual platform, used by firmware, driver, runtime, and application software teams
- Design models for usability and performance — your customers are software engineers who need to run real workloads on your platform efficiently
- Develop and improve the virtual platform infrastructure: QEMU integration, simulation performance, build and release tooling, and customer-facing document...
