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 shape the architecture of future devices through performance modeling software and infrastructure. You will collaborate across SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams to translate design space studies into high-quality C++ models, supporting the full lifecycle from early exploration to post-silicon correlation. You will also drive simulator performance, maintainability, and flexibility so hardware architects can iterate quickly.

Responsibilities

• Develop and leverage C++ to maximize the utility of performance models

• Create 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, naming, and well-organized modules

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

• Build data analysis pipelines and visualization methodologies

• Run performance simulations and analyze results

• Present simulation results clearly for engineering decision-making

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree

• Experience with 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 data into performance analysis

Benefits

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

• Work on high-impact performance modeling that enables seamless operation across CPU, GPU, machine learning, camera, display, and connectivity components
