As a Principal Performance Architect at Synopsys, you will play a key role in shaping the performance analysis capabilities of the company. You will architect and lead the development of advanced performance analysis frameworks for complex hardware subsystems, define comprehensive methodologies for latency, bandwidth, throughput, utilization, and contention analysis, and drive framework extensibility to support diverse configurations, integration environments, and evolving usage models.

You will establish and promote best practices for performance data collection, normalization, and interpretation across teams, develop performance models and reference workloads to enable early analysis, validation, and correlation of system behavior, and support performance bring-up and correlation across simulation, emulation, prototyping, and lab environments, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Your work will elevate performance analysis capabilities across Synopsys, enabling more accurate and efficient silicon characterization, accelerate time-to-market for partner-tailored solutions by providing robust frameworks and reference workloads, enhance collaboration between hardware and software teams through standardized methodologies and shared best practices, and drive innovation in performance modeling and early validation, contributing to the development of next-generation silicon products.

To succeed in this role, you will need a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience, 12+ years of experience in system-level software, embedded platforms, or performance engineering, strong programming skills in System Verilog, C, or C++, and a deep understanding of embedded and system software stacks, memory hierarchies, IO subsystems, and interconnect behavior.
