Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering General Summary: We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled CPU Workload Development Engineer to join our performance analysis team. This role focuses on R&D of identifying real-world use cases across Android, Linux and Windows (ARM) platforms, developing representative workloads to be used as key internal benchmark metrics, and influencing industry-standard benchmarking practices. You will work closely with internal CPU HW & SW teams and external benchmark vendors to ensure that performance metrics reflect meaningful user experiences and guide CPU design and optimization. Key Responsibilities: 1) Use Case Analysis: Research and analyze real-world user behavior and application usage patterns on Linux, Android and Windows platforms (mobile and compute). Identify performance-critical workloads across domains such as productivity, gaming, multimedia, AI/ML, and web browsing. 2) Benchmark Development: Design and implement benchmark workloads that reflect real-world usage scenarios. Develop automation scripts and tools to run and validate benchmarks across different hardware and software configurations. 3) Performance Evaluation: Use profiling tools (e.g., Perf, Android Systrace, Arm DS-5, Windows profile explorer/performance analyzer etc.) to analyze workload characteristics and CPU utilization. Collaborate with CPU HW architects and SW teams to evaluate performance bottlenecks. 4) Industry Collaboration: Engage with third-party benchmark vendors to influence the inclusion of realistic workloads in industry-standard benchmark suites. Provide technical guidance and data to support the adoption of meaningful, user-centric performance workloads. 5) Documentation : Document workload design, methodology, and performance insights. Perform and report correlation analysis between benchmark and real-world application performance metrics to validate benchmark relevance. Present findings to internal stakeholders and contribute to industry benchmark forums. Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer , Electrical, Electronics Engineering or a related field. 7 - 13 years of experience in software development/porting of SW libraries, benchmarks, and performance analysis.
