Full Job Description
Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.
As a Principal SOC Performance Analysis Engineer on the ASIC Engineering SOC Team, you will own performance analysis for a satellite communication System on Chip (SOC) supporting the TeraWave program. This is a senior individual contributor role with technical leadership scope and no direct reports. You will set the performance analysis methodology from pre-silicon modeling through emulation based verification and post-silicon validation, and your results will directly shape architectural decisions across hardware, firmware, and software teams.
Responsibilities:
Develop pre-silicon performance models for satellite communication PHY IP and Arm core subsystem workloads
Analyze multi-channel LPDDR6 bandwidth, latency, and arbitration across concurrent SOC traffic flows
Define and verify performance requirements for L2 acceleration data paths
Characterize Ethernet throughput and packet processing rates under representative load
Execute performance verification and functional testing on emulation platforms before silicon tape out
Validate post-silicon performance against pre-silicon projections and document correlation results
Partition performance budgets across L1 PHY, L2 software and firmware domains
Collaborate with architecture, design, and software teams to resolve identified performance bottlenecks
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field
Minimum 10 years of experience in SOC architecture, performance analysis, or verification
Experience with SOC performance modeling for multi-core processor based designs
Experience with memory subsystem bandwidth and latency analysis for DDR or LPDDR
Experience using hardware emulation platforms for pre-silicon performance or functional testing
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field
Experience with satellite communication or wireless physical layer signal processing and L1 functions
Experience with Arm multi-core subsystems supporting Linux SDK or board support package environments
Experience with LPDDR6 or next generation memory interface bring up and performance tuning
Experience analyzing high speed Ethernet performance and packet processing throughput
Proficiency with C, C++, SystemC, or Python for performance modeling and test automation
Strong written and verbal communication skills for presenting analysis results to technical stakeholders
