CPU Performance Architect - Platform Architecture

engage with experienced CPU and SoC designers in micro-architecture and RTL to assess the feasibility of ideas through modeling, refine ideas and model correlation, and seed new ideas. The role requires the analysis of single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads across existing and new product categories to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. We collaborate as a larger CPU architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment to enable data- driven decisions and always look for ways to boost the productivity of the entire team.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS degree

• Knowledge of CPU and SOC architecture and micro-architecture

• Familiarity with performance simulation environments

• Coding skills, including object-oriented programming with C/C++

• Experience in a scripting language such as Perl or Python

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of memory latency tolerance techniques or other aspects of CPU memory subsystem (i.e. prefetching, caching policies)

• 20+ years of relevant industry experience

• MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering or Computer Science

• Understanding of common data structures and algorithms

• Familiarity with SIMD, vector, or accelerator architectures

• Familiarity with MP performance

• Comfortable in an environment of uncertainty and able to navigate through ambiguities
