Qualcomm Graphics Performance Architect 

India, Karnataka, Bengaluru 

647556048

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering

*Responsibilities:*

• Conduct system level performance analysis and bottleneck analysis for intricate, high-performance GPUs and System-on-Chips (SoCs).

• Utilize hardware models at various levels of abstraction, including performance models, RTL test benches, emulators, and silicon, to scrutinize and identify performance bottlenecks in the system.

• Comprehend key performance use-cases of the product and formulate workloads and test suits focusing on graphics, machine learning, automotive, video, and computer vision applications.

• Collaborate closely with architecture and design teams to explore architecture trade-offs related to system performance, area, and power consumption.

• Develop necessary infrastructure, including performance models, testbench components, and performance analysis and visualization tools.

• Lead efforts to enhance turnaround time, identify representative data-sets, and facilitate early performance analysis in the product development cycle.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.

*Qualifications:*

• Bachelor’s (BE/BTech) or Master’s (MS/MTech) degree in a relevant field; PhD is a plus, or equivalent experience.

• Knowledge of Graphics APIs e.g. OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX, Metal

• A minimum of 12 years of experience in Computer Graphics or a related field with exposure to performance analysis and complex System-on-Chip (SoC) and/or GPU architectures.

• Profound understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture, graphics pipeline, memory subsystem architecture, and Network-on-Chip (NoC)/Interconnect architecture.

• Expertise in programming languages (C/C++) and scripting languages (Perl/Python). Exposure to Verilog/System Verilog, SystemC/TLM is highly advantageous.

• Strong debugging and analysis skills, including data and statistical analysis, and proficiency in using RTL dumps to debug failures.

• Hands-on experience in developing performance simulators and cycle accurate/approximate models for pre-silicon performance analysis is a significant advantage.
