SoC Power and Performance

Job Requirements

At Quest Global, it's not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.

Key Responsibilities

Execute a wide range of CPU, GPU, and NPU benchmarks across various hardware platforms and OS configurations.

• Run performance experiments to characterize system behavior under diverse workloads and use cases.
• Ensure reliable and reproducible test environments, including system setup, BIOS/firmware tuning, OS optimization, and workload deployment.
• Collect, clean, and validate large volumes of performance data and logs with meticulous attention to accuracy.
• Create detailed reports and documentation of analysis findings, performance tuning activities, and recommendations for improvement.
• Design, develop, and maintain advanced Bash and Python scripts to process, filter, and summarize log files from SoC profiling tools.
• Build and maintain automation tools to streamline benchmarking workflows and data analysis.
• Collaborate with engineers to understand log structure and semantics, define parsing strategies, and transform raw profiling output into actionable insights.
• Ensure scripts and tooling are robust, portable, and maintainable across different systems and configurations.
• Own initial debug and root cause analysis of system/firmware/software issues encountered during setup and benchmark execution.

We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.

We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. We know embracing our unique differences makes us better, and that solving the worlds hardest engineering problems requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We shine the brightest when we tap into the many dimensions that thrive across over 21,000 difference-makers in our workplace.

Work Experience
