I korthet

Join Qualcomm's Platform Performance Team as an Engineer to Senior Staff Engineer to drive ARMv9 server-class CPU performance across cloud and enterprise platforms. This role involves end-to-end benchmarking, regression tracking, system-level performance analysis, and optimization, requiring collaboration across hardware, firmware, OS, and software layers.

Ansvarsområden

  • Execute and analyze SPEC CPU, SPECrate, SPECjbb, and representative cloud or microservice workloads.
  • Characterize CPU, cache, memory, NUMA, and I/O behavior on ARMv9 server platforms.
  • Understand benchmark measurements and how system configuration impacts results.
  • Identify CPU-bound, memory-bound, and system-level bottlenecks.
  • Use PMU counters, profiling tools, and system traces to debug regressions.
  • Analyze CPI trends, cache misses, memory access patterns, and scheduler effects.
  • Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for server workloads.
  • Automate performance regression detection in CI/CD environments.
  • Track performance changes across software, firmware (UEFI/BIOS), and hardware updates.
  • Tune Linux kernel parameters, system configuration, and benchmark settings.
  • Evaluate compiler flags and toolchains for performance impact.
  • Optimize code paths where applicable using ARMv9 features and SVE/SVE2.
  • Validate performance for hyperscalers, Kubernetes, and enterprise workloads.
  • Support OEM/ODM benchmarking, customer evaluations, and field issues.
  • Develop and maintain automated benchmarking frameworks.
  • Build scalable testbeds for repeatable performance testing.
  • Contribute to data collection, visualization, and reporting pipelines.
