We do! But we also realize this job isn't for everyone. What we do is not easy but you do not take the easy path. We are seeking a highly motivated, innovative, and confident individuals to join the GPU Performance Modeling Team; we are a group that is driving advanced exploration for next generation GPU architectures and micro-architectures. In this highly visible role, you will be at the center of a chip design effort working with all disciplines, with a critical impact on getting high performant products to millions of customers quickly. As a Performance Modeling Engineer you will be part of a team that is defining and optimizing Apples GPU micro-architecture. With others you will seek out areas for improvement while collecting data and measurements that either confirm the idea or rule it out. You will collaborate with experienced designers in micro-architecture and RTL to assess the feasibility of ideas, refine ideas, and seed new ones. The role requires the analysis of interesting workloads across existing and new product categories to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. You'll be architecting new simulator features and brainstorming novel ideas to boost simulation performance. You'll collaborate with world-class GPU and SoC Architects to steer and improve the implementation of GPU simulators and performance models used for research, performance analysis, and microarchitecture tuning. We also cross-collaborate as a larger architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment and look for ways to boost the productivity of the entire team .

In this position you will be expected to:
