CPU Performance Engineer

Sintegra Inc.

We are seeking a CPU Performance Engineer to drive the characterization and optimization of next-generation smartphone SoCs. This role combines deep technical analysis with hands‑on lab work, enabling you to shape performance insights that directly influence product design and user experience. Key Responsibilities Silicon Characterization: Lead post‑silicon power and performance measurements to validate and optimize cutting‑edge SoCs. Automation & Infrastructure: Develop and maintain Python‑based frameworks to automate workload measurements, telemetry collection, and data pipelines. Performance Analysis: Investigate microarchitectural bottlenecks, assess DVFS and thermal management policies, and deliver actionable recommendations. Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Partner with architecture and software teams to translate raw silicon data into meaningful performance insights. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent practical experience). 3+ years of experience in microprocessor architecture, performance analysis, or post‑silicon characterization. Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python for automation and data parsing. Hands‑on experience with hardware lab equipment (oscilloscopes, power monitors) and CPU benchmarking tools. Preferred Qualifications Experience with power instrumentation and mobile device performance measurement. Familiarity with mobile ecosystems (Android or iOS), including system‑level performance tuning and rooting processes. Solid understanding of Instruction Set Architectures (ISA), especially ARM or RISC‑V. Expertise in system‑level optimization: power states, thermal throttling, and trade‑offs in mobile SoCs. Demonstrated ability to automate complex data pipelines and visualize large datasets to uncover microarchitectural trends. #J-18808-Ljbffr Sintegra Inc.
