CPU Processor Performance Verification Engineer

What you'll do

• Verify performance features of the design and correlate them with pre-silicon and post-silicon performance models.
• Develop test plans, infrastructure, and tools for performance tuning, correlation, and verification.
• Write assembly, C/C++, or Verilog tests to debug and correlate RTL with performance models.
• Create C or Verilog-based checkers and coverage monitors to ensure all performance features are covered.
• Identify software bottlenecks and perform performance tuning in collaboration with OS and compiler teams.
• Benchmark and compare CPU performance across different silicon, operating system, and compiler versions.
• Conduct performance debugging and tuning directly on silicon hardware.
• Present technical CPU performance results and analysis to multi-functional teams.

What we're looking for

• Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Experience in performance modeling, processor verification, or RTL design.
• Experience in digital logic design, CPU architecture, and microarchitecture.
• Experience developing performance test plans and writing/debugging assembly tests for correlation and verification.
• Programming skills in assembly, C/C++, Verilog, SystemVerilog, or scripting.
• Experience in benchmark and workload analysis and CPU performance profiling (preferred).
• Knowledge of compiler techniques and OS for performance optimization (preferred).
• Knowledge in developing instruction profiling tools on silicon (preferred).
