As a Senior CPU Technology Architect, you will play a key role in shaping the future of high-performance CPUs. Your work will span performance analysis, architectural innovation, and multi-functional collaborations
- Analyze real-world workloads and industry-standard CPU benchmarks to uncover opportunities for both hardware and software optimization.
- Evaluate and identify CPU performance bottlenecks and architectural limitations, and propose forward-looking solutions to overcome them
- Collaborate with hardware (CPU micro architecture/design) and software teams (compilers, operating systems, and applications) to co-design and implement enhancements that improve system efficiency (performance, power)
- Lead and drive technical initiatives, from concept to execution, ensuring alignment across multi-disciplinary teams
- Engage with business teams and external partners to communicate complex technical insights, share results, and influence strategic direction
We are looking for:
We’re seeking creative, driven, and collaborative individuals with a passion for performance, architecture, and innovation.

- A strong inclination toward innovation and problem solving
- Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively, across time zones and global teams.
Qualities That Will Help Your Application Stand Out
- Hands-on experience analyzing hardware performance or power consumption, particularly in real-world or pre-silicon environments
- Proficiency in C, C++, Python, and Arm assembly, with the ability to write performant, low-level code and analyze system behavior
- Comfort with emerging technologies, and a curiosity that keeps you engaged with the latest advancements in computing architecture and scientific research
- A track record of initiative, persistence, and a proactive approach to solving complex technical challenges.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to clearly articulate technical concepts across diverse teams.
