About the Role

You will analyze workloads and shape SoC performance across ML software, compilers, CPU design, cache-coherency protocols, and interconnect fabrics. You will build performance models and use their results to guide microarchitecture decisions and correlate pre-silicon and post-silicon performance.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in EE, ECE, CE, or CS
  • Understanding of NoC topologies, routing algorithms, QoS, and traffic scheduling
  • Expertise in cache coherency protocols
  • Knowledge of AMBA CHI and AXI
  • Knowledge of DDR, LPDDR, GDDR, PCIe, CCIX, and CXL
  • C or C++ programming
  • Experience building performance models
  • ML or AI traffic-pattern familiarity is a plus
  • Formal verification of cache-coherence protocols is a plus
  • Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology

Responsibilities

  • Analyze system-level performance problems
  • Translate workloads into architectural insights
  • Build efficient performance models
  • Shape SoC interconnect and cache-coherency design
  • Guide CPU and accelerator microarchitecture decisions
  • Correlate pre-silicon and post-silicon performance
