Job Description

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > CPU Engineering General Summary: Qualcomm is a company of inventors that unlocked 5G ushering in an age of rapid acceleration in connectivity and new possibilities that will transform industries, create jobs, and enrich lives. But this is just the beginning. It takes inventive minds with diverse skills, backgrounds, and cultures to transform 5Gs potential into world-changing technologies and products. This is the Invention Age - and this is where you come in. We are hiring talented engineers for CPU Power/Performance Modeling targeted for high performance, low power devices. As a CPU Power/Performance Modeling Engineer, you will contribute ideas for advanced CPU performance and power features, explore them in detail, model them, correlate and characterize them and work with the design team in productizing them. This will also include modeling algorithms to optimize the power consumption and at the same time maximize the performance when required for various workloads. Roles and Responsibilities Proficiency in one or more areas of CPU architecture: fetch, decode, branch prediction, renaming, execute units, SIMD, load/store, MMU, caches, retire, etc. Understanding of power consumption and estimating power as proxy. Collaborate with CPU Performance Architecture and RTL team members to identify opportunities for product improvement. Analyze workloads to identify performance bottlenecks, power constraints and opportunities. Perform self-guided performance/power simulation studies of design alternatives. Knowledge of OS internals and compiler technology a plus. Write and maintain features and sections of the CPU architectural performance/power model. Work with RTL and design team to assess implementation cost for new features. Collaborate with performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment for increased productivity. Preferred Qualifications MS degree in Computer Architecture with 15+ years of practical experience. Strong CPU architecture knowledge and micro-architecture knowledge. Experience working in a performance modeling environment. Proficient in C and C++ and scripting languages such as Perl or Python. Ability to problem solve and prove your own ideas. Knowledge and experience with common performance benchmarks and workloads. Knowledge of microprocessor architecture including expertise in one or more of the following areas: Active power management (DVFS), Idle power management, Limit management (TDP, Thermal and Over-current protection), Clock management. Knowledge of Verilog and/or VHDL. Experience with simulators and waveform debugging tools. Understanding of low power microarchitecture techniques. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 8+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 7+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. OR PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience. Pay range: $218,000.00 - $327,000.00 The above pay scale reflects the broad, minimum to maximum, pay scale for this job code for the location for which it has been posted. Even more importantly, please note that salary is only one component of total compensation at Qualcomm. We also offer a competitive annual discretionary bonus program and opportunity for annual RSU grants (employees on sales-incentive plans are not eligible for our annual bonus). In addition, our highly competitive benefits package is designed to support your success at work, at home, and at play. Your recruiter will be happy to discuss all that Qualcomm has to offer! #J-18808-Ljbffr Qualcomm
