Responsibilities
- Lead deep-dive microarchitectural analysis on silicon to isolate and quantify pipeline stalls, memory hierarchy bottlenecks, and instruction-level inefficiencies to drive root-cause resolution.
- Design, build, and execute advanced power and performance experiments on physical silicon to rigorously correlate pre-silicon projections with post-silicon reality across general-purpose and AI/ML compute workloads.
- Develop and maintain early-stage power and performance models to evaluate complex architectural "what-if" scenarios, driving hardware-software co-optimization.
- Partner closely with lead CPU architects and cross-functional teams to define dynamic, realistic power and performance goals for future Google silicon.
