Core Performance Architect

The successful candidate will work with the architecture and design team to research and develop next generation high performance processors. The role involves working with a team of performance engineers to research, model, and develop architecture/micro-architecture ideas to build state-of-the-art performance processors that reach our aggressive performance targets.

What You Will Do

Responsibilities include working along with a team of performance engineers to research, model, and develop architecture/micro-architecture ideas, designing and carrying out experiments to research and develop architecture/micro-architecture features, and working with the design team to implement and deliver performance targets in RTL.

Why It Might Be a Fit

To be successful in this role, you should have a strong foundation in computer architecture of high performance out-of-order CPU designs, knowledge in analyzing performance bottlenecks in micro-architecture and software stack, and hands-on expertise with either HW development (RTL/implementation flows, verification/validation, backend flows, FPGA flows).

Requirements

• MS in Computer Science/Computer Architecture
• 3+ years of experience in high performance processor development
• 3+ years involved in the engineering team to deliver HW or SW products
• Hands-on expertise with either HW development (RTL/implementation flows, verification/validation, backend flows, FPGA flows); FPGA debug, including the use of Integrated Logic Analyzer for waveform capture and debug
• Knowledge in analyzing performance bottlenecks in micro-architecture and software stack
• Good foundation in computer architecture of high performance out-of-order CPU designs
• Good foundation in workload characterization to identify HW/SW performance bottlenecks
• Good foundation in workload reduction techniques for efficient performance simulation and projection
