The Senior Performance Architect joins the Compute Silicon and Manufacturing Organization team to develop performance modeling methodologies for cloud infrastructure. In this role, you will create and own cycle-accurate or approximate System on Chip (SOC) and Intellectual Property (IP) performance models and analysis tools using C++ and Python. You will collaborate with Micro-architects and Register Transfer Level teams to identify bottlenecks, propose architectural changes based on quantitative justification, and verify the correlation of SOC performance models to RTL implementations. The role involves leveraging AI tools for coding, performance tuning, and analysis to ensure systems are performant and efficient. Key technical domains include computer architecture, memory subsystems, coherency flows, interconnects, and Quality of Service traffic. You will solve complex problems related to optimizing cloud hardware manufacturing and infrastructure through advanced silicon development workflows.
