Senior Analyst, CPUs

The leading tech enthusiast website, Tom's Hardware has been publishing in-depth coverage of PCs, PC components and other hardcore hardware since 1996. We're a site for people who love computer technology and want to geek out about speeds, feeds and benchmarks. We offer practical tips, buying advice and in-depth news and features to help readers get deep inside their PCs.

Tom's Hardware is looking to maintain its industry-leading coverage of Central Processing Units (CPUs) with a senior editor who has expertise in testing and writing about PC components. You will build relationships with the leading CPU manufacturers (AMD, Intel, Qualcomm) and related PC makers so you can get the scoop on whatever's new and next.

Most importantly, you will conduct intensive benchmarking of chips, to publish detailed reviews, face-offs, features and other forms of buying advice. You will write detailed reviews of new CPUs, making sure to hit embargo deadlines, sometimes with short notice. You will maintain our CPU Benchmark Hierarchy which contains comparative benchmarking of all the current-gen and prior-gen chips. You will test on some of the most popular games to see how much horsepower readers need to play their favorite titles at Ultra settings.

You will represent the brand at important networking events, product launches, and industry events, such as CES and Computex. And you will use your body of knowledge to help shape our coverage of the dynamic world of semiconductors and computer technology.
