CPU Performance Architect, Silicon

As a CPU Performance Architect, you will be the key contributor to improve processor instruction set architecture, to develop innovative microarchitecture features, and deliver Google’s advanced SoC products. You will collaborate cross-functionally with android applications and AI teams to conduct applications and benchmark performance analysis and to project their performance at various design phases. You will be guided by architects and work with engineers in Power, Thermal, Security, and Physical Design teams to determine the CPU subsystem configuration and features.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.
