Staff System Performance Engineer

Would you love to investigate performance issues and suggest product improvements on the different parts of a mobile System-on-Chip? Would you like to analyse the performance of Arm's future IPs when they are working together?

Arm's Solutions Performance Analysis team is a team of highly motivated engineers ensuring that we maintain our leadership in mobile computing by helping our partners build outstanding products. Using detailed competitive analysis, sophisticated workload characterisation, emulation, simulation, and advanced software modeling, we are regularly influencing Arm's engineering teams and its partners., You will join the Solutions Performance Analysis team within Central Technology as an experienced System Performance Analysis Engineer. You will run experiments on a pre-Silicon SoC environments analysing the performance of the different Arm components (such as CPU, GPU, DPU, Video, ISP, Interconnect, etc) using use-cases close to the ones run on mobile products. You will help bring up some of these use cases and understand their behaviour on future platforms. You will be finding the different potential bottlenecks and help provide solutions., * Characterise real world use cases and build sophisticated workloads that will be used to understand system performance.

• Engage with architects on future systems within Arm.
• Run system performance characterization and optimization studies.
• Lead exploration studies aimed at determining the efficiency of proposed IP features in a system context.
• Be a trusted source of analytics and data through good engineering practice and methodologies
• Devise and investigate new ideas for workload analysis and development of new tools and flows., You will develop the roadmap for Arm's core interconnect and control subsystems, ensuring they are strategically aligned and technically validated across markets. While the initial focus is infrastructure, you will work across line of business and customers to ensure these foundational technologies are robust, driven, and reusable across Arm's diverse product portfolio. Your ownership of requirement specs and roadmap rigor will ensure subsystem coherence across product generations - enabling Arm to scale from IP to complete system solutions.
