I'm currently partnered with a Semiconductor start-up, based in Silicon Valley. They are working on re-imagining Silicon, creating RISCV based computing platforms aimed at transforming the industry. As a Principal Performance Modelling Engineer you will develop functional and timing simulators, undertake performance analysis for architectural exploration and identify and fix performance bottlenecks. You'll also be involved in workload analysis, to develop a deep understanding of the characteristics of workloads in the target market (machine learning, data analytics, graph analytics).


They are looking for a passionate and dedicated person and in return, you'll get the opportunity to work in a fun, flexible collaborative working environment. Their team in the UK is currently small, but growing rapidly, therefore you have the chance to be part of a disruptive and talented group of exceptional people. There is huge opportunity for this position to develop into a technical leadership role through excellent career progression avenues.


What's required for this Principal Performance Modelling Engineer position?

  • Strong C/C++ development skills
  • Excellent understanding of GPU/CPU architecture and microarchitecture
  • Knowledge of performance modelling concepts
  • SIMT processing, cache and memory hierarchies
  • Understanding of benchmarks and workloads in the ML space

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
