CPU Performance and Workload Analysis Engineer, Platform Architecture

**Role Number:** 200647729-0157**Summary**Modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs have dramatically changed how hardware and software is developed. It is increasingly important to understand the concerns of software developers when designing hardware while it is also increasingly meaningful for software developers to understand how their applications can map efficiently to modern client and server hardware. Those who can understand both and prefer to live at the intersection of hardware and software are deeply valuable, especially to Apple. The Apple CPU Architecture and Performance Team is seeking highly motivated and self-driven engineers who want to live at this intersection, individuals who have or want to develop domain expertise in emerging areas like AI, individuals who have a high-level CPU architecture understanding and desire to work with a world class team for CPU, SoC, and software development. Are you deeply accountable for your work? Your passion for product ownership and track record of product development will prove critical to your success on our team.**Description**We drive advanced exploration for next generation CPU architectures. As a member of this team, you are the interface between the CPU team, system teams, and many software teams at Apple. We have a data driven approach that is focused on real user workloads (both existing and emerging) so your work will guide optimizations and the direction of future CPUs. At the same time, you will be working with software developers to optimize code for our CPU designs and roadmap.**Minimum Qualifications**+ Bachelor's degree+ Experience with CPU architecture and micro-architecture+ Object-oriented programming experience with C and C++ Experience in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Javascript+ Experience with CPU performance analysis and associated tools**Preferred Qualifications**+ MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related field+ 3+ years of relevant experience+ Knowledge of common performance benchmarks+ Experience working multi-functionally with people of very diverse backgrounds+ Demonstrated communication, influence, and negotiation skills+ Technical documentation skills+ Knowledge of visual/UI, data analysis frameworks and modern AI tools+ Knowledge of OS internals and compiler technologyApple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
