Cpu Workload Analysis Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs have dramatically changed how hardware and software is developed. It is increasingly important to understand the concerns of software developers when designing hardware while it is also increasingly meaningful for software developers to understand how their applications can map efficiently to modern client and server hardware. Those who can understand both and prefer to live at the intersection of hardware and software are deeply valuable, especially to Apple. The Apple CPU Architecture and Performance Team is seeking highly motivated and self-driven engineers who want to live at this intersection, individuals who have or want to develop domain expertise in emerging areas like AI, individuals who have a high-level CPU architecture understanding and desire to work with a world class team for CPU, SoC, and software development. Are you deeply accountable for your work? Your passion for product ownership and track record of product development will prove critical to your success on our team.
