Job description

In this role, you will be part of the system-on-chip (SOC) performance team within Apple's Hardware Technologies organization. The team focuses on shaping the architecture of future devices by fostering collaboration between various engineering teams. Your main objective will be to ensure high-quality performance models that drive world-class hardware designs. You will engage in the full life-cycle of performance modeling, from architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience in hardware architecture and design issues.
  • Experience coding in C++ and Python.
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture and software engineering principles.
  • Familiarity with data structures and algorithms.
  • Experience with multi-paradigm software development in C++.
  • Experience with multi-language programming environments.
  • Understanding of compiler transformations on code.
  • Ability to write code that is maintainable and well-documented.
  • Experience with architectural and micro-architectural performance modeling.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain performance models and infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with engineers to translate design space studies into software models.
  • Transform hardware execution models into high-performance C++ code.
  • Pay close attention to the performance, maintainability, and flexibility of the simulator.
  • Support hardware architects in quickly iterating on experiments.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
