SoC Performance Modeling Software Engineer (Platform Architecture)

Quick Facts

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

• Team: SoC performance team within Hardware Technologies

Description

Work on performance models and infrastructure for a system-on-chip (SoC) to enable CPUs, GPUs, machine learning, camera, display, and connectivity components to work together seamlessly.

You will translate design space studies into well-written C++ performance models and support the full lifecycle from early architectural exploration through post-silicon correlation. You will also focus on making the simulator fast, maintainable, and flexible so hardware architects can iterate quickly on experiments.

Responsibilities

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

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

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

• Structure the codebase for effective use with AI-assisted development tools

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

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

• Build and use data analysis pipelines, visualization methodologies, and continuous regression testing

• Run performance simulations

• Analyze and present simulation results for engineering decisions

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

• Collaborate across SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams to deliver world-class cache/memory systems

• Enable next-generation SoC components to work seamlessly for a top customer experience
