Summary

Posted: Oct 22, 2024

Role Number:200575189

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 iPhone, iPad and Mac 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. Your responsibilities will include: - Profile and analyze existing and emerging workloads, bring up in CPU/SOC simulation environment - Develop and maintain performance and trace analysis tools - Develop and implement visual extensions to assist with data analysis that can be used internally and also by the various software partners in Apple - Run and analyze workloads on simulators and prototype devices as well as work on developing and automating performance analysis infrastructure - Develop domain expertise in emerging fields (ex: ML, AR/VR) in order to both identify hardware advancement opportunities and assist software teams in optimizing for our devices. - Profile and analyze workload in potential new product areas to help guide CPU roadmap decisions

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Understanding of CPU architecture and micro-architecture
  • Coding skills in object-oriented programming with C and C++
  • Experience in scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Javascript
  • Experience with CPU performance analysis and familiarity with associated tools
  • Knowledge and experience with common performance benchmarks
