Performance Modeling Engineer - SoC & AI Accelerators

Qualcomm; Austin (TX); Sur place; USD 192 000 - 288 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. seeks an experienced Performance Modeling Engineer to drive architectural exploration, performance analysis, and system-level optimization for next-gen processors, AI accelerators, and SoC platforms.

The role requires deep expertise in processor architecture, memory systems, cache hierarchies, and transaction-level modeling. Collaborate with architecture, RTL, verification, software, and system teams to guide decisions from concept to silicon.

Qualifications

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 10+ years of industry experience in computer architecture, microarchitecture, or performance modeling.
• Strong understanding of processor architecture and memory hierarchy.
• Experience developing Transaction-Level Models (TLM/SystemC) and analytical performance models.
• Deep knowledge of cache behavior, including capacity and conflict effects.

Responsabilités

• Develop and maintain transaction-level and analytical performance models for processors, memory hierarchies, interconnects, and accelerators.
• Create detailed models of cache hierarchies, coherent interconnects, memory subsystems, DMA engines, SMP systems.
• Evaluate architectural tradeoffs in performance, power, area, latency, bandwidth, and scalability.
• Analyze workload behavior and identify system bottlenecks through simulation and modeling.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to correlate performance models with RTL simulations and silicon data.
• Present architectural recommendations and performance insights to engineering leadership.
