Performance Validation Engineer - Only W2
Austin, TX - hybrid
We are seeking a highly skilled Performance Validation Engineer to support next-generation server and accelerator platforms. This role is focused on hands‑on system-level performance validation, benchmark execution, and deep analysis across hardware, OS, and compiler layers in a Linux environment.
This position requires strong exposure to real hardware platforms, CPU‑centric performance analysis, and industry-standard benchmarking. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working directly on systems, identifying bottlenecks, and collaborating with cross‑functional engineering teams to improve performance, stability, and scalability.
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze performance characteristics of modern server platforms and compute accelerators
- Develop, maintain, and execute benchmark workloads, configuration files, and automation scripts
- Execute industry-standard benchmarks with reproducible methodologies across platforms
- Collect and analyze performance data using CPU counters and Linux performance tools
- Identify performance bottlenecks related to CPU, memory hierarchy, storage, I/O, and NUMA behavior
- Collaborate with compiler and OS teams to perform code-level performance analysis and tuning
- Research architectural trade‑offs and recommend optimization strategies
Required Qualifications
- Strong hands‑on experience with Linux-based performance analysis
- Experience executing performance benchmarks and validation workloads
- Background in hardware or system-level validation involving CPUs, memory, storage, or accelerators
- Solid understanding of computer system architecture and memory hierarchy
- Experience with scripting and automation using C, C++, Python, or Bash
- Familiarity with compiler toolchains and optimization techniques including GCC, LLVM, OpenMP, LTO, and NUMA affinity
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience benchmarking memory technologies such as DDR5, CXL, or HBM
- Experience with SIMD or vectorization tuning
- Knowledge of public benchmark rules and result reproducibility
- Prior experience validating server-class platforms
