Architect - System Performance Verification and Analysis

Responsibilities

• Partner with System Architecture, Usecase Modeling, Unit Architecture/PV, and
• Design/Verification teams to define comprehensive performance test plans that reflect real product usecases.
• Drive full-chip SoC performance verification across all real engines and subsystems, running realistic concurrent workloads that represent how the product will be used by customers in the field.
• Execute performance test plans across the full verification stack: cycle-accurate performance models, RTL simulation, emulation platforms, and silicon, identifying bottlenecks and regressions at each stage.
• Debug performance failures through waveform analysis, signal-level queries, trace analysis, and system-level profiling to root-cause issues in the memory subsystem, fabric, or individual engines.
• Influence architecture and microarchitecture decisions by surfacing performance data and trade-off analysis to the design and architecture teams early in the product development cycle.
• Develop and maintain performance workloads, test suites, and infrastructure — including testbench components, performance simulators, analysis scripts, and automated regression flows.
• Leverage AI-assisted tools and automation to accelerate repetitive analysis tasks, improve coverage, and free up engineering time for higher-level problem solving. This includes using LLM-based assistants for querying results and specs, AI-driven triage of regressions, and intelligent tooling that improves over time.
• Drive methodology improvements to reduce verification turnaround time, improve coverage of representative workloads, and enable earlier performance insight in the product development cycle.
