SoC Performance Modeling Software Architect (Platform Architecture)

Quick Facts

• Role: SoC Performance Modeling Software Architect (Platform Architecture)
• Team: System-on-chip (SoC) performance

Description

You will help shape the architecture of future devices by developing performance modeling software for SoC designs. You will translate design space studies into well-written software models, transforming the hardware execution model into high-performance C++. You will work across the full modeling lifecycle from early architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation, with a strong focus on simulator performance, maintainability, and flexibility.

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 C++ and methods
• Ensure the codebase is structured for effective use with AI-assisted development tools
• Write clear, self-documenting code using consistent conventions, meaningful naming, and well-organized modules
• Learn 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 analyze/present simulation results

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree
• Experience in hardware architecture and design issues
• Experience coding in C++ and Python and binding C++ to other languages
• Experience with computer architecture and software engineering principles
• Experience with data structures and algorithms
• Experience using software models to collect behavioral characteristics and convert them into performance analysis

Benefits

Collaborate across SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams to enable world-class hardware and improve customer experience.
