Camera ISP Architecture Engineer

Role & responsibilities

1) Use Case Analysis:

Research and analyze real-world user behavior and application usage patterns on Linux, Android and Windows platforms  (mobile and compute). Identify performance-critical workloads across domains such as productivity, gaming, multimedia, AI/ML, and web browsing.

2) Benchmark Development:

Design and implement benchmark workloads that reflect real-world usage scenarios. Develop automation scripts and tools to run and validate benchmarks across different hardware and software configurations.

3) Performance Evaluation:

Use profiling tools (e.g., Perf, Android Systrace, Arm DS-5, Windows profile explorer/performance analyzer etc.) to analyze workload characteristics and CPU utilization. Collaborate with CPU HW architects and SW teams to evaluate performance bottlenecks.

4) Industry Collaboration:

Engage with third-party benchmark vendors to influence the inclusion of realistic workloads in industry-standard benchmark suites. Provide technical guidance and data to support the adoption of meaningful, user-centric performance workloads.

5) Documentation :

Document workload design, methodology, and performance insights. Perform and report correlation analysis between benchmark and real-world application performance metrics to validate benchmark relevance. Present findings to internal stakeholders and contribute to industry benchmark forums.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer , Electrical, Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 7 - 13 years of experience in software development/porting of SW libraries, benchmarks, and performance analysis.
• Strong understanding of CPU architecture (Arm, x86, or RISC-V) and SoC performance characteristics.
• Experience with real-world application profiling and workload analysis.
• Proficiency in C/C++
• Proficiency in scripting and automation tools (Python, shell, MonkeyRunner, AutoHotKey etc.).
• Experience with Linux, Android and Windows development environments (GCC, Clang, Android NDK, Microsoft Visual Studio etc) .
• Familiarity with Git for version control and collaborative development.
• Experience with cross-platform build systems (e.g., CMake, SCons, Bazel).
