Automotive Systems Engineer

Responsibilities

• Implement performance analysis methodologies to support product-level decision-making, covering SoC architecture and behavioral modeling for IPs such as ISP, NPU, or GPU.
• Develop and maintain platforms for automotive performance analysis to enable scalable modeling of complex automotive use cases.
• Model SoC-level use cases for automotive concurrencies and maintain version-controlled, traceable summaries for customers.
• Support on-silicon analysis of use case dataflows to validate performance and provide guidance on system optimizations for power and thermal footprints.
• Create automation for workloads and test cases using Python scripts or other modeling languages like UML.
• Collaborate with software teams to prepare and maintain measurement databases for online access within models.
• Provide regular updates to functional teams regarding validated results to improve tool accuracy through measurement correlation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Master's preferred).
• Minimum of 6+ years of experience in Software Engineering (or 5+ years with a Master's, 4+ years with a PhD).
• Proven experience with SoC-level performance modeling for complex use case concurrencies.
• Proficiency in C/C++, SystemC, and Python programming.
• Experience maintaining code repositories (e.g., GitHub) and using automation scripts (Perl or Python) for regression testing via Jenkins.
• Strong analytical skills to interpret model output metrics and indicate impact on SoC performance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with IP hardware architecture, specifically CPU, GPU, NPU, or ISP.
• Previous experience as a Systems Engineer on Automotive SoC projects.
• Experience with machine learning implementations.
• Experience developing user web interfaces and back-end database tools.
• Experience working within globally distributed teams.
