Architecture Modeling Engineer

About the role

Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications - whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from -40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense. We've raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets. The salary range for this position is $120,000-$225,000+ annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Architecture Modeling at Mythic: At Mythic, architecture modeling is at the core of how we design and deliver breakthrough AI hardware. Our models allow us to quantify the real-world performance of new architectures-capturing critical tradeoffs in throughput, latency, and efficiency-before a single chip is built. Modeling plays a central role in active design development, predicting how AI workloads generated by the Mythic compiler will run on silicon. These models serve as a golden reference for verifying RTL implementations and enable our software teams to begin developing validation and customer-facing code long before hardware is available. Even after silicon arrives, our modeling tools remain invaluable, offering deeper insight into performance bottlenecks and guiding ongoing software optimization. At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment where people can do their best work. We hire smart, capable individuals, provide the tools and support they need, and trust them to deliver. Our team brings a wide range of experiences and perspectives, which we see as a strength in solving hard problems together. We value professionalism, creativity, and integrity, and strive to make Mythic a place where every employee feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.

Requirements

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
