HireSetu's note
Freshers with architecture depth are the target
The stated minimum is a bachelor's in engineering, information systems, computer science or a related field, and the team sits under Systems Engineering at the Bangalore site. The level is below senior and staff, so a recent graduate with the right coursework is a fair applicant, and so is someone with a year or two in verification, firmware or driver work.
The job itself is chip-level: tracing why a workload stalls, whether the limit is memory bandwidth, cache misses, the GPU or the AI engine. Computer architecture carries the weight here, specifically the cache hierarchy and how the memory subsystem behaves under load. If you have built a simulator, profiled a kernel or taken readings off hardware counters, you already speak part of the language.
Groundwork worth a few evenings
Learn to read a performance counter dump: instructions per cycle, stall reasons, cache miss rates, achieved bandwidth against theoretical peak. Understand why a workload is latency-bound or bandwidth-bound, and be able to sketch how caches hide that latency. Roofline models and Amdahl's law come up in this work, and basic benchmark discipline matters: same conditions, repeated runs, a record of what changed.
Python and C++ both appear, and the split is predictable in this field. Python carries the analysis, scripting and plotting; C++ turns up in simulation models and tooling.
Two things to confirm with the hiring team: which block your work covers, CPU, GPU, AI engine or the memory subsystem, and whether the team builds models before silicon exists or works with silicon once it is back. That decides whether your first year is mostly simulation or mostly measurement.
