About the role

Principal I/O Performance Architect to define and optimize I/O performance across next-generation SoCs, from concept through silicon and post-silicon platforms. Focus on bandwidth, latency, QoS, and architecture decisions driven by data and evidence.

Responsibilities

  • Define performance objectives, analysis methods, and signoff criteria for SoC I/O subsystems—bandwidth, latency, QoS, ordering, flow control, topology, and congestion.
  • Build, extend, and apply performance models to evaluate architectural options early and answer design questions with data-driven recommendations.
  • Analyze performance data from models, simulation, emulation, firmware/software tests, traces, and counters, and correlate pre-silicon predictions against RTL, emulation, and post-silicon results.
  • Create reusable workloads, synthetic traffic patterns, trace-replay methods, benchmark flows, and KPI-correlation techniques that scale across teams.
  • Partner with architecture, design, DV, emulation, firmware, software, validation, and platform teams, communicating tradeoffs clearly in reviews, readouts, and written recommendations.
  • Develop automation and AI-assisted workflows to speed sweeps, data reduction, triage, report generation, and model-based exploration.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline—or equivalent practical experience.
