Senior Performance Architect
Core
Develop performance modeling methodologies and analysis tools for System on Chip (SOC) and Intellectual Property (IP) to identify bottlenecks and justify architectural changes.
Role type
Senior IC performance architect (SOC/IP)
Builds
Cycle-accurate/approximate performance models and analysis tools in C++ and Python
Domain
Semiconductor hardware design, computer architecture, system-on-chip
Deliverable
production ML models | product features
