SoC Performance Modeling Software Engineer (Platform Architecture)

Quick Facts

• Role: SoC Performance Modeling Software Engineer (Platform Architecture)

• Team focus: System-on-Chip (SoC) performance modeling, caches/memory system, and end-to-end hardware-software enablement

Description

You will help deliver high-quality, timely performance data by translating hardware design space studies into well-written software models. The work spans the full lifecycle of performance modeling—from early architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation—while keeping the simulator efficient, maintainable, and flexible for rapid iteration. You’ll collaborate broadly with SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams to enable seamless operation across CPUs, GPUs, Machine Learning, Camera, Display, and Connectivity components.

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve performance modeling software and simulator infrastructure

• Leverage C++ effectively to maximize the utility of performance models

• Build APIs usable by non-expert C++ developers

• Train AI agents and help non-expert C++ developers on idiomatic code and methods

• Structure the codebase to work effectively with AI-assisted development tools

• Write clear, self-documenting code with consistent conventions, naming, and modular organization

• Learn and apply state-of-the-art SoC IP and chip-level architecture

• Build and use data analysis pipelines and visualization methods

• Run performance simulations and analyze/present results for engineers

• Maintain continuous regression testing for the modeling workflow

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree

• Experience in hardware architecture and design issues

• Experience coding in C++ and Python

• Experience with computer architecture and software engineering principles

• Experience with data structures and algorithms

Benefits

• Opportunity to collaborate across hardware and software teams to shape future SoC platforms and improve customer experience
