Performance Modeling / Verification Engineer

We are hiring a Performance Modeling / Verification Engineer (Intermediate) to support advanced system-level performance analysis and validation for next-generation hardware platforms.

This role is focused on SystemC and Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM), working closely with architecture and verification teams to develop high-fidelity performance models used in system-level design decisions.

The ideal candidate brings strong hands-on SystemC modeling experience, solid C programming skills, and practical exposure to performance validation and verification methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, enhance, and maintain SystemC / TLM2 performance models for memory controllers, interconnects, and peripherals
• Perform architecture exploration and performance analysis using cycle-approximate models
• Identify system bottlenecks and optimize models to meet performance targets
• Build and execute SystemC-based testbenches for functional and performance validation
• Collaborate with cross-functional, globally distributed engineering teams
• Integrate models into system-level tools and workflows
• Create clear technical documentation covering model behavior, usage, and assumptions

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of recent, hands-on SystemC experience
• Strong understanding of Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM / TLM2.0)
• Proficiency in C programming
• Experience in performance modeling and system-level validation
• Exposure to verification concepts, including simulation and debugging
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of memory controller architectures such as DDR or LPDDR
• Familiarity with AXI / AHB bus architectures
• Exposure to SV/UVM verification methodologies
• Experience using Git or Perforce
• Strong debugging skills in complex, multi-module environments

Interview Process

• One-hour technical interview with a senior engineer
