The System Performance Modeling Engineer joins the Infrastructure IP Team to focus on system and platform architecture, specifically regarding Network-on-Chip (NoC) topology and system memory architecture. You will perform architecture-oriented performance and power explorations for components like system caches, memory controllers, and interconnects using cycle-accurate and approximate models. Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing complex datasets to identify bottlenecks, developing new tools for architecture validation, and supporting exploratory projects involving machine learning and data science. The role requires proficiency in C++ and Python, a strong understanding of computer architecture, and knowledge of protocols like AHB, AXI, and ACE. You will work on the technical challenge of defining hardware modeling semantics and optimizing memory organization, address mapping, and interleaving to shape next-generation SoC designs while balancing performance, power, and area trade-offs in high-performance infrastructure components.
