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 develop performance models and infrastructure that ensure high-quality data for hardware designs. This position requires a strong emphasis on performance, maintainability, and flexibility of the simulator to support rapid experimentation.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in hardware architecture and design.
• 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++.
• Knowledge of multi-language programming environments.
• Experience with compiler explorer and code transformations.
• Ability to write code that is readable and maintainable for both humans and machines.
• Experience with architectural and micro-architectural performance modeling.

• Collaborate with engineers across the organization to translate design space studies into software models.
• Develop high-performance C++ models based on hardware execution models.
• Engage in the full life-cycle of performance modeling from architectural exploration to post-silicon correlation.
• Ensure the performance, maintainability, and flexibility of the simulator.
• Support hardware architects in quickly iterating on experiments.

• 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.
