We are looking for a highly skilled Performance Modeling Architect to lead the architectural definition and improvement of our next-generation CPU Cache Hierarchies and interconnects. This is an outstanding chance to create scalable solutions that connect two fast-paced domains: the high-reliability, low-latency needs of Automotive and the massive efficiency, high-density demands of Data Center systems.

Responsibilities

  • As a core member of the architecture team, your daily work will involve
  • Developing and maintaining high-fidelity, cycle-accurate performance models (C++/SystemC) for coherent interconnects and large-scale shared caches.
  • Modeling and analyzing performance bottlenecks across varying scales, from small-cluster automotive SoCs to massive, multi-mesh data center architectures.
  • Evaluating the performance impact of different coherency protocols (e.g., CHI, ACE, or proprietary) and snooping filters.
  • Running and analyzing industry-standard benchmarks (SPEC, MLPerf, Automotive-specific suites) to drive architectural trade-offs.
  • Collaborating with build and verification teams to correlate performance models with silicon and working with software teams to optimize drivers for the underlying hardware topology.
  • What we need to see
  • To be successful in this role, you should possess a deep technical foundation in computer architecture
  • A Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science (or equivalent experience) with a focus on architecture with 5+ years of experience.
  • Strong understanding of CPU microarchitecture, memory consistency models, and cache coherency protocols.
