TL;DR · Senior Principal System Performance Architect

As a Senior Principal System Performance Architect within the Central Technology Systems group, you will drive the definition and exploration of performance to shape future compute infrastructure across data center and networking domains. You will define SoC system and subsystem use-case performance requirements while leading analysis and testing from models to RTL. Collaborating with architects, IP, and technology teams, you will translate roadmaps into performant systems by engaging with specialists in modeling, RTL, FPGA, silicon, and software. The role requires extensive experience in SoC system performance using models, RTL simulation, emulation, or FPGA. You must possess deep knowledge of infrastructure architecture, including multi-die coherent memory systems and high-speed IO interfaces like PCIe. Key technical focuses include analyzing and optimizing for performance, power, and area while challenging the limits of system and IP capabilities.

What you'll do

  • Define SoC system and subsystem use-case performance and analysis requirements.
  • Drive the analysis and testing of performance from models to RTL.
  • Translate vision and roadmaps into achieved performant systems with IP and technology teams.
  • Explore and challenge the limits of system and IP performance capabilities.
  • Optimize for performance, power, and area across infrastructure systems.
  • Analyze multi-die coherent memory systems and high-speed IO interfaces like PCIe.

What we're looking for

  • At least 10 years of SoC system performance experience using models, RTL simulation, emulation, or FPGA.
  • Deep knowledge of infrastructure system architecture and performance including multi-die coherent memory systems and high-speed IO interfaces like PCIe.
  • Ability to work both in teams and independently as a confident problem solver.
  • Excellent communication skills for interacting at both detailed and high levels.
  • Experience of the Arm architecture (preferred).
  • University degree or PhD in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Analytics, or a related field (preferred).
