SoC Performance Modeling Software Engineer (Platform Architecture)

Quick Facts

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

• Focus: Performance models and simulator infrastructure for system-on-chip hardware

Description

In this role, you will be part of the system-on-chip (SoC) performance team working with SoC architecture, design, power, and software groups to deliver world-class cache and memory system performance. You will build and evolve performance modeling software that translates design space studies into well-written models, supporting the full life cycle—from early architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation. You will also improve simulator performance, maintainability, and flexibility so hardware architects can iterate on experiments quickly.

Responsibilities

• Leverage C++ to maximize the utility of performance modeling software models

• Develop APIs that can be used by non-expert C++ developers

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

• Ensure the codebase is structured for effective use with AI-assisted development tools

• Write clear, self-documenting code with consistent conventions, meaningful naming, and well-organized modules

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

• Work on data analysis pipelines, visualization methodologies, and continuous regression testing

• Run performance simulations and carefully analyze and present simulation results

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree

• Experience with 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

• Collaboration across SoC architecture, design, power, and software teams to enable seamless CPU, GPU, machine learning, camera, display, and connectivity performance on chip platforms
