Architecture Modeling Engineer

Semiconductor Engineering Design Position

Perform semiconductor engineering design, development, and testing for products and devices in conjunction with product development for the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Responsible for pre-silicon performance modeling to cover IP RTL and SoCs. Involves development and integration of System C / C++ performance models under an industry standard Synopsys TLM based modeling framework. Design and develop C++ based component models as derived from IP block specifications. Integrate System C / C++ based components models for the purposes of SoC level, Subsystem level and IP level simulations towards derisking / improving the performance of the overall SoC and IP Architecture. Quantify and improve overall SoC performance by running use-cases, benchmarks, workloads and / or traffic loads on performance models, FPGA development boards, and / or silicon. Collaborate with systems and architecture leads to define customer use-cases and benchmarks. Collaborate with SoC performance verification teams to help a) define the pre-silicon SoC RTL derisk plans and b) assisting with the analysis of the performance data arising from the execution of these plans.
