- Run diverse workloads and benchmarks on in-development CPUs, and deliver insightful performance and benchmarking reports to the design team

Required Skills and Experience:

- Solid foundation in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or Engineering
- Experience with hardware bring-up in pre-silicon environments (simulation, hardware emulation, FPGA)
- Comfortable working in Linux-based development environments
- Good English interpersonal skills

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

- Scripting skills in Python or Perl
- Experience with CPU/System performance analysis
- Familiarity with CPU micro-architectural concepts
