System Performance Engineer, Consumer DevicesActive$293K–$325K

The opportunity

OpenAI's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Consumer Devices team is building a new generation of AI-powered products that seamlessly integrate hardware and software to create intuitive, transformative experiences.

What you'll do

  • Develop system performance benchmarks, methodologies, and policies to evaluate end-to-end product behavior.

  • Profile and analyze performance across key product use cases and workloads: using custom and industry-standard profiling tools.

  • Partner closely with engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and drive: performance optimizations across the software stack.

  • Define high-level product KPIs and establish measurement frameworks to: measure launch readiness and monitor performance throughout the product lifecycle.

  • Measure, report, and track metrics including system responsiveness, memory: utilization, cold boot performance, long-term stability, and behavior under constrained conditions such as thermal limits and low battery states.

  • Investigate field performance regressions and drive issues to resolution using data-driven analysis.

What they're looking for

  • Familiarity with statistics, experimentation methodologies, or data science concepts.
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with embedded software, systems,: camera and vision, audio, graphics, applications, and hardware teams.
  • Experience defining product KPIs, benchmarking methodologies, and launch: readiness metrics for hardware products.
  • Experience investigating field performance regressions and driving fixes: through cross-functional collaboration.
