What could you be doing as a Graduate CPU Micro-architect and Performance Modelling Engineer?

You will be part of a small team in charge of improving some specific CPU micro-architectural functionalities.
Early phases of the projects are dedicated to micro-architectural investigations:
you will implement the expected improvements in an internally-developed CPU performance model, and analyze the resulting performance and power efficiency gains, refining and tuning the micro-architecture until finding the appropriate sweet spot.
In later stages of the project, the activity will focus on the performance verification of the product itself, to ensure it reaches its area, frequency, power and performance targets.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Have solid programming skills - preferably in C language
• Have some knowledge of CPU microarchitecture
• Are proficient in English

Qualities that will help your application stand out:

• Curiosity about technology outside of the classroom - personal projects, hackathons, or internships etc
• Good interpersonal skills with an analytical approach
• Previous exposure to CPU or system benchmarking and performance analysis

In Return:

In addition to a competitive salary and a comprehensive rewards package, you'll also receive the support, autonomy and opportunity to excel in your career.

With a mid-year and year-end review, you'll have two windows each year to progress recognizing the pace at which you could grow.
Attend our 'Grad-teach-Grads' workshops, guest speaker series and various social events to expand your knowledge.
Want to take this a step further? Join our Graduate Committee and hone your planning, networking and coordination skills.

You'll also be invited to our exclusive Global Graduate Conference (GGC)! A yearly occurrence exclusive for Graduates allowing you to hear from executive members, inspiring speakers and make connections for life.

With many of our leaders and technical specialists having originally joined as Graduate Engineers, will you be next?
