As a Performance Modeling Software Architect, Platform Architecture within the system-on-chip performance team, you will shape the architecture of future devices by developing high-performance C++ software models and infrastructure. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate design space studies into robust software models, managing the full lifecycle from early architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation. Your daily work involves building APIs for non-expert developers, training AI agents on idiomatic code, and developing data analysis pipelines and visualization methodologies. You will utilize C++, Python, and various data structures to ensure simulator performance and maintainability. The role focuses on the technical challenge of creating a cohesive memory system where CPUs, GPUs, Machine Learning, Camera, Display, and Connectivity components work seamlessly together. You will also perform simulation runs and provide detailed analysis of results to drive high-quality hardware designs.

What you'll do

  • Translate hardware design space studies into high-performance C++ software models.
  • Develop accessible APIs for use by non-expert C++ developers.
  • Structure the codebase to be compatible with AI-assisted development tools and reasoning.
  • Build data analysis pipelines, visualization methodologies, and continuous regression testing systems.
  • Execute performance simulations and perform detailed analysis of the results.
  • Maintain a high-performance simulator that allows hardware architects to iterate quickly on experiments.
  • Write self-documenting code using consistent conventions and well-organized modules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree is required.
  • Master's or PhD in CS, EE, or a related field is preferred.
  • 20+ years of relevant experience is preferred.
  • Experience in hardware architecture and design issues is required.
  • Experience with computer architecture and software engineering principles is required.
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python, including binding C++ to other languages, is required.
  • Experience with data structures, algorithms, and multi-paradigm software development in C++ is required or preferred.
  • Experience with architectural and micro-architectural performance modeling is preferred.
