About this role

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming
extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring
passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could
accomplish! Join us to help deliver the next groundbreaking Apple product. In
this role, you will be a member of the system-on-chip (SOC) performance team,
working within the Hardware Technologies organization to shape the architecture
of Apple's future devices. Our team initiates and fosters deep collaboration
between the SOC architecture, design, power, and software teams, to deliver
world-class caches/memory system. The end goal is to provide the best customer
experience in the world by enabling all the CPUs, GPUs, Machine Learning,
Camera, Display, and Connectivity components on our chips to work seamlessly
together. We are seeking an upbeat and highly motivated SOC Performance Modeling
SW Engineer to work on our performance models and infrastructure.

DESCRIPTION

You will be tasked with ensuring Apple's ability to produce high quality, timely
data to drive world class hardware designs. You will collaborate with engineers
across the organization to translate design space studies into well written
software models. You will develop your ability to transform the hardware
execution model into high-performance C++. You will be involved with the full
life-cycle of performance modeling, from early architectural exploration to
post-silicon correlation. Last, but not least, you'll be expected to pay close
attention to the performance, maintainability, and flexibility of the simulator,
making sure hardware architects can quickly iterate on experiments.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree Experience in hardware architecture and design issues
Experience coding in C++ and Python Experience with computer architecture and
software engineering principles Experience with data structures and algorithms

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

MS or PhD in CS, EE or related field 10+ years of relevant experience Experience
with multi-paradigm software development in C++ Experience with multi-language
programming environments, and selecting the right tool or language for the job
Experience with compiler explorer and understanding the transformations the
compiler is performing on your code Experience thinking about code as something
that will be read by both humans and machines, and instituting conventions,
structure, and documentation that make a codebase tractable for AI-assisted
reasoning and navigation Experience with architectural, micro-architectural
performance modeling
