Senior Software System Designer

Responsibilities

• Design and develop system-level profiling tools spanning CPU, memory, IO, and power analysis
• Build and optimize data collection frameworks leveraging hardware counters (PMC), IBS, and OS tracing
• Develop low-overhead profiling infrastructure for large-scale and long-running workloads
• Enhance performance analysis pipelines including data processing, correlation, and visualization
• Enable cross-platform profiling support across Linux, Windows, and emerging OS ecosystems
• Work on advanced analysis techniques such as top-down microarchitecture analysis and bottleneck detection
• Collaborate with CPU, GPU, kernel, and compiler teams to enable new hardware features in profiling tools
• Drive automation and intelligent analysis, including AI/ML-assisted performance insights

Requirements

• Bachelors or master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering
• Experience with performance profiling tools
• Strong understanding of microarchitecture concepts (pipelines, caches, branch prediction, memory hierarchy)
• Experience with hardware performance counters (PMC), IBS, or similar sampling techniques
• Familiarity with OS internals (Linux kernel, schedulers, memory management, tracing frameworks)
• Experience with distributed/HPC workloads (MPI, OpenMP, large-scale systems)

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with tools such as AMD uProf, perf, VTune, or rocProfiler
• Exposure to trace analysis, call stacks, and sampling-based profiling models
• Knowledge of container environments and system-level debugging
• Experience contributing to cross-platform tools and frameworks
