Performance Modeling Software Engineer, Platform Architecture
Apple Inc., Orlando, FL, United States
Performance Modeling Software Engineer, Platform Architecture
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.
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. You will pay close attention to the performance, maintainability, and flexibility of the simulator, ensuring hardware architects can quickly iterate on experiments.
Responsibilities
Appreciate the good parts of C++ and leverage the language to maximize the utility of our software models
Develop APIs that can be used by non‑expert C++ developers
Train AI agents and non‑expert C++ developers on idiomatic code and methods
Help ensure our codebase is structured for effective use with AI‑assisted development tools
Write clear, self‑documenting code with consistent conventions, meaningful naming, and well‑organized modules
Learn about the state of the art in SoC IP and chip‑level architecture
Work on data analysis pipelines, visualization methodologies, and continuous regression testing
Careful analysis and presentation of simulation results
Minimum Qualifications
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
