SoC Performance Modeling Software Architect

Quick Facts

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

Description

You will work on the system-on-chip (SoC) performance team to develop and maintain performance modeling software and infrastructure for future devices. The role translates design space studies into well-written software models, transforms hardware execution models into high-performance C++, and supports the full modeling lifecycle from early exploration through post-silicon correlation. You will also focus on simulator performance, maintainability, and flexibility so hardware architects can iterate quickly.

Responsibilities

• Develop C++-based performance models and APIs that support experimentation
• Create APIs usable 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 and meaningful naming
• Learn and apply state-of-the-art SoC IP and chip-level architecture
• Build data analysis pipelines and visualization methodologies
• Perform continuous regression testing
• Run performance simulations, analyze results, and present findings

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree
• Experience in hardware architecture and design issues
• Experience coding in C++ and Python, including 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 turn them into performance analysis

Benefits

Collaborate across SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams to help deliver world-class cache and memory system capabilities.
