As a Performance Profiling Engineer, you will be responsible for:

Job description:

• This job description outlines the responsibilities for a Performance Profiling Engineer. The role focuses on analyzing and optimizing the performance of hardware and software for augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (XR) systems.
• The ideal candidate will have expertise in performance profiling tools, hardware architecture, and data analysis.
• Implement and integrate profiling tools on new hardware platforms, such as QC XDP and Vista reference designs.
• Synchronize software traces (e.g., Perfetto) with hardware-level captures (e.g., Kibble trigger) to gain deep insights into system behavior and DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) controls.
• Investigate the feasibility and performance of "split perception" architectures, including PnP (plug-and-play) and thermal analysis with devices like the Pixel or other Android phones.
• Analyze power hotspots and performance bottlenecks in split-computer systems (e.g., Aura/xReal) for next-generation silicon and current product optimization.
• Create detailed documentation on tool setup and develop scripts for new platforms to automate key usages and data analysis.
• Profile key AR/XR use cases (e.g., Vista, Moohan, Betty, Harriet, ULSG) to understand their data flows, compute resource utilization, and memory bandwidth usage.
• Map DVFS controls to major compute blocks and align key data flows with specific hardware resources.
• Contribute profiling results to a comprehensive power model for the Vista reference design.
• Bring up and profile machine learning (ML) and CPU benchmarks representative of AR/XR workloads on various hardware IPs.
• Evaluate different NPU IPs (CEVA, ARM NPU, QC NPU) and CPU cores (A55, A520, A320, M85) to compare PPA (Power, Performance, Area) and other key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Utilize a range of hardware platforms for benchmarking, including simulation models, FPGAs, and actual devices.
• Sweep and analyze parameters within NPU and CPU IPs to optimize performance.
• Develop and automate profiling scripts to streamline the capture of relevant logs.
• Create analysis scripts to post-process traces and present results in clear, concise formats.
• Deliver comprehensive reports, spreadsheets, and dashboards detailing performance and power analysis.
• Strong experience with performance profiling tools and techniques for mobile or embedded systems.
• Expertise in analyzing hardware and software performance, including power, thermal, and compute bottlenecks.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, shell scripting) for automation and data analysis.
• Knowledge of computer architecture, specifically with ARM CPUs and NPUs.
• Familiarity with AR/XR technologies and their associated workloads.
