As a CPU Core Performance Staff Engineer, you will join the CPU core performance team to architect, design, and model performance features for next-generation processor technology. You will be responsible for driving the optimization of CPU core performance features using high-performance simulation environments while developing and enhancing models to evaluate new microarchitectural features. Your daily work involves analyzing workloads, traces, and performance data to identify improvements, building cycle-accurate models, and performing pre-silicon and post-silicon analysis to validate behavior. You will collaborate with RTL design, verification, and silicon teams to ensure model accuracy across the development lifecycle. The role requires expertise in modern CPU architecture, microarchitecture, and performance modeling. Key skills include software engineering, using AI-assisted tools for optimization, and providing technical leadership to solve complex architectural problems from concept through product delivery.
