• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Systems Engineering or related work experience.
• 2+ years of experience in one or more system architecture technology areas and products (e.g., Power System, Shared Resource Management, Limits/Thermal Management, Hardware Islands).
Required for this role:
MS in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineer with 3 years of experience in SoC performance/power modeling
Strong grasp of the computer architecture fundamentals especially in the areas of interconnects, traffic QoS, distributed caches, coherency flows, DRAM controller and IO (PCIe) flows
Proficient in C++ and Perl / Python
Exposure to performance analysis and debug
Ability to independently identify, troubleshoot and solve performance problems
Preferred qualifications
MS in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineer with 6 years of experience in CPU / SoC performance/power modeling, analysis / debug
Expertise in one or more of these functional areas:
Coherent fabrics based on the AMBA CHI / AXI protocol
Memory controller designs for LPDDR5, DDR5
IO controllers and fabric bridges for PCIe / CXL / CCIX
Strong background in building fast, accurate SoC / CPU performance models C++ Exposure to testing and debugging performance issues in pre- and post-silicon environments
Demonstrable experience in productizing features that improve performance/power characteristics of a design
Role and Responsibilities
Develop a SoC performance/power model for blocks such as interconnect NoCs, distributed system caches, memory controllers, IO controllers
Verify model correctness by writing unit-tests and debugging mismatches against expectations
Identify ideas for improving the SoC’s performance/power characteristics. Prototype idea in the performance/power model and thoroughly characterize it
Work with architects and RTL developers to productize the improvements identified through detailed studies
Conduct RTL performance verification. This will involve creation of verification plans and directed tests / checkers
