Required Senior SOC Performance Engineer, Cloud
About the job
Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of our direct-to-consumer products. You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide. Your expertise will shape the next-generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration. our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of our AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
Responsibilities
Validate performance and power models from the architecture team and lab measurements against established goals, exercise open source benchmarks, analyze the results, and identify optimization opportunities.
Design and build tests to verify SoC design meets targets, and implement advanced technologies for running "benchmark representations" on pre-silicon environments.
Analyze problems to identify core design weaknesses, and drive resolution of performance issues in both pre- and post-silicon environments.
Collaborate closely with design, validation, and architecture teams to ensure hardware and software designs interface correctly and deliver products.
Develop performance measurement frameworks, including Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), to produce regular reports and dashboards that support stakeholder decision-making, and drive efforts to productize features that improve performance and power characteristics.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of experience in Silicon post Validation or embedded systems.
3 years of experience in SoC or CPU performance and power modeling, analysis, and debugging.
Experience with computer architecture in areas like interconnects, traffic QoS, distributed caches, and I/O flows.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
Experience with hardware description languages like Verilog or SystemVerilog.
Experience in pre- and post-silicon analysis and debugging.
Experience in one or more functional areas, such as coherent fabrics (e.g., AMBA CHI/AXI), memory controllers (e.g., LPDDR5, DDR5), or I/O controllers (e.g., PCIe, CXL).
Experience in productizing features that enhance the performance or power characteristics of a design.
This position is open to all candidates.
