• Fluency in written and spoken, intermediate to advanced English Level

If you feel you are the right person for this position, then this is a great opportunity to hear from you.

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes and project work, internships and/or work experience.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of experience or related experience in lieu of degree.
• Good understanding of computer architecture, Operating Systems, Drivers and BIOS fundamentals.
• Willing to configure a computing platform to a functional state based on a set of provided requirements.
• Willing to rapidly adapt and develop functional software solutions for different processes (measuring, observing, data processing, etc.) using programming or scripting languages aligned to existing operating frameworks and guidelines. (e.g. Python and Bash)
• Candidate must have unrestricted permanent right to work in Costa Rica
• Advanced English level

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with Intel or x86 products or other CPU products in a post-silicon engineering environment is a plus
• Knowledge in Performance Measurement fundamentals and data acquisition
• Knowledge of hardware: low-level components such as I/O's, interrupts, network communication protocols, etc.
• Understanding of commonly used benchmarks and real user workloads/tests. Familiarity with industry benchmarks is a plus (i.e. SYSmark, SPEC, WebXPRT, Cinebench, Geekbench, etc)
• Experience analyzing performance using software tools.
• Experience measuring, analyzing, and debugging workloads to call out any performance gaps and drive changes through internal and external engineering teams.
• Good problem solver with strong skills for programming (e.g. Python, Bash, etc.), be able to do source code level tuning, and debug software/firmware issues, and write scripts for automating test cases.
• Experience performing workload profiling/sensitivity analysis as it pertains to aspects of the CPU (e.g. arch, cores, frequency, cache, etc.), GPU, and other features of a platform.
