System Performance Analysis Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Shanghai, China

NVIDIA is seeking System Performance Analysis Engineers to perform large-scale benchmarks, design automation tools for data collection and analysis, develop methodologies to optimize HW/SW performance and power management, and research new architectural features for next-generation GPUs, CPUs, and SoCs. The role involves tackling multi-variable problems through system-level modeling, testing, and characterization.

What you'd actually do

  1. Perform large-scale benchmarks for competitive analysis and comparative analysis.
  2. Design tools to automate product definitions, data collection, test case execution, and results analysis. Provide detailed data analysis of functionality, performance, and latency.
  3. Develop methodologies to optimize HW/SW performance and power management to maximize Perf/WATTand user-experience on AC and on DC power. Feedback improvement areas to the different architecture and design teams teams.
  4. Research new architectural features for next generation GPU, CPU and SOC to optimize performance and power features development, and transcend product goals.
  5. Tackle multi-variable problems via system level modeling, testing and characterization, trend analysis/projection, and model verification. Brings depth and expertise in product performance-per-watt feature development.
