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 performance bottlenecks in software and applications and work with developers to tune them.
• Benchmark and compare CPU performance across different silicon, OS, and compiler versions.
• Debug performance issues and conduct tuning directly on silicon.
• Maintain and improve architectural performance models for the chip design.

What we're looking for

• Minimum BS degree and 10+ 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).
