About the role

Huawei's UK Research Center is seeking a Performance Modeling Engineer to join our growing CPU Architecture team.
You will be at the forefront of pioneering next-generation CPU innovations and guiding Huawei's architectural roadmap.

You will design, implement, and refine performance models that accurately predict CPU microarchitecture behavior, maintaining in-house toolchains for cycle-accurate, trace-driven, or statistical simulations.
This includes developing new methodologies, automating workflows, and creating intuitive visualizations to reveal bottlenecks and guide optimizations.
Working closely with architects, software engineers, and a global community of performance modeling experts, you will collaborate on design reviews, share best practices, and continuously improve our modeling strategies to inform next-generation CPU innovations.
Innovative Environment: Engage with cutting-edge research that shapes the future of global CPU designs.
Global Collaboration: Collaborate with a diverse, worldwide community of performance modelers, architects, and software engineers.
This spirit of innovation has led Huawei to work in close partnership with leading academic institutions in the UK to develop and refine the latest technologies.
The partnership between UK and Huawei help to develop the technologies of the future that will transform the way we all communicate, work and live.
With a practical approach to everything we do, we concentrate our efforts and invest patiently to drive technological breakthroughs.
Our combined passion drives development across the global innovation value chain.
In the UK, we already have design centers in Cambridge, London, Edinburgh and Ipswich.

Bachelor's (BS) or Master's (MS) degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, with coursework or relevant experience in Computer Architecture.
Prior hands-on experience in performance modeling and analysis of CPU microarchitecture.
Familiarity with cycle-accurate, cycle-approximate or functional simulators, microarchitecture pipelines, and common performance metrics.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for large-scale software development, with working knowledge of Python for scripting and data analysis.
Excellent interpersonal skills, with a track record of working collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams.
Experience with power models and cache system models.
Experience with, or understanding of, Arm architectures (e.g., Armv8-A, Armv9-A).
Experience with RTL and SystemC simulators.
Knowledge of System Architecture/Software.
