Description
As an intern in the Platform Architecture Team, you will have impact in defining and optimising Media IPs used in various Apple products. Through collaboration, you will seek out areas for improvement while collecting data and measurements that either confirm the idea or rule it out. You will collaborate with experienced SoC architects and designers to assess the feasibility of ideas, refine ideas and create new ones.
The role requires data driven analysis of interesting workloads across existing and new product categories to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. You will be architecting new performance validation flows and brainstorming novel ideas to improve the methodology.
You will collaborate with world-class SoC Architects to steer and improve the performance models used for research, performance analysis and microarchitecture exploration. In this role, you will be expected to:
- Contribute towards performance modelling proposed architectural solutions and features
- Gather, analyse and validate measured and simulated results for architectural performance validation
- Analyse and present results to enable data driven architecture/design flow
- Collaborate with multi-functional teams to develop architectural solutions
Education Experience
Currently enrolled in your final year of studies in a Master's or PhD Degree program and ideally studying Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics or a related field.
Additional Requirements
