CPU Performance Architect Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative individual to join our CPU Architecture and Performance Team. As a CPU Performance Architect, you will be part of a team that is driving advanced exploration for next generation iPhone, iPad, and Mac CPU architectures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with experienced CPU designers in micro-architecture and RTL to assess the feasibility of ideas through modeling and refine those ideas to make them implementable.
  • Analyze specific single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads across existing and new product categories to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement.
  • Work with the CPU architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment to enable data-driven decisions and boost the productivity of the entire team.

Requirements

  • Minimum requirement of a BS degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
  • Knowledge of CPU architecture and micro-architecture.
  • Ability to combine micro-architecture knowledge and performance bottleneck analysis on relevant workloads to conceive novel performance ideas.
  • Experience working with design and implementation teams to iterate on ideas to solve timing and power efficiency challenges and fit them into system constraints.
  • Familiarity with performance and/or power simulation environments and ability to take ideas from concept to C/C++ simulator implementation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 15+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering or Computer Science.
  • Understanding of common data structures and algorithms.
  • Knowledge in software design patterns.
  • Familiarity with SIMD and vector architectures.
  • Knowledge of OS internals and compiler technologies.
