Company:Qualcomm India Private Limited
Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering
General Summary:
We are seeking a highly motivated and technically skilled CPU Workloads Tracing Engineer to join our CPU Performance team. You will own the performance pipeline from benchmark characterization, compiler/toolchain evaluation, optimized libraries, workload tracing and performance projections. This role combines deep expertise in benchmark characterization and analysis, compiler optimizations, library tuning, instrumentation, and workload tracing. You will work cross-functionally with HW architects, compiler, and software teams to optimize scores, model performance, and influence CPU design decisions.

Key Responsibilities:
- Workload Characterization

Drive end-to-end workload characterization - selecting relevant benchmarks (SPEC CPU, Geekbench, Antutu etc) , porting them across heterogeneous platforms (x86, ARM64, etc.), and instrumenting workloads for detailed analysis, ensuring high-fidelity performance data across simulation, emulation, and silicon




- Workload Tracing

Instrument benchmark workloads to generate execution traces that can be consumed by CPU models and performance simulation platforms.
- Workload Sampling

Experience with workload analysis tools such as SimPoint for representative phase selection and workload reduction.
- Performance Score Projections

Define and drive methodologies that map workload-level metrics from CPU models (ex : IPC) to benchmark scores (e.g., SPEC, Geekbench), supporting score projection, performance analysis, and architectural trade-off evaluation.

Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer , Electrical, Electronics Engineering or a related field.
- 8 - 12 years of experience in benchmarks, workload tracing and performance analysis.
- Solid understanding of CPU architecture (Arm, x86, or RISC-V) and SoC performance characteristics.
- Hands-on experience with workload characte
