In Arm’s Central Technology Group, we are seeking a highly motivated System Architect to join our diverse technology team covering all aspects of system architecture!
This role is ideal for someone deeply interested in performance optimization, profiling methodologies, and system-level analysis. The successful candidate will help define how performance data is captured, correlated, and consumed from pre-silicon modeling through silicon bring-up, debug, validation, deployment, and ongoing platform optimization. You will work closely with power architects, silicon architects, SoC architects, software teams, and tooling teams to ensure future platforms provide the right transparency for performance modeling, power-performance analysis, workload optimization, and real-world deployment debugging!
Responsibilities
- Define the performance telemetry and profiling architecture for next-generation platforms spanning CPUs, AI accelerators, GPUs, memory systems, interconnects, I/O, networking, storage, and multi-die/chiplet systems.
- Drive architecture guidance, platform specifications, and reference architectures for system-wide performance observability across Arm-based infrastructure, edge, and physical AI platforms.
- Collaborate with SoC architects, IP architects, platform architects, silicon architects, power architects, and software teams to define performance telemetry requirements and ensure profiling capabilities are designed into future platforms from the outset.
- Work closely with power architects, silicon architects, SoC architects, and performance modeling teams to define telemetry requirements that support performance modeling, power-performance optimization, and architectural tradeoff analysis.
- Develop platform-level performance analysis strategies for heterogeneous systems, including AI infrastructure, edge AI platforms, automotive or robotics-oriented platforms, composable systems, and multi-die architectures.
- Define how performance data from CPUs, caches, memory controllers, interconnects, accelerators, PCIe/CXL fabrics, networking interfaces, storage, and other system components can be collected, correlated, and consumed.
- Translate customer, ecosystem, and software-tooling requirements into scalable performance telemetry architecture spanning silicon, firmware, operating systems, hypervisors, drivers, runtime software, orchestration layers, and developer tools.
- Define standardized performance telemetry models supporting workload characterization, utilization analysis, latency and bandwidth analysis, power-performance tradeoffs, bottleneck detection, and system optimization.
- Work with profiling and performance tools teams to ensure Arm platforms expose the right architectural hooks for effective use by tools such as Linux perf, Performance Studio, and other industry-standard analysis environments.
- Participate in silicon bring-up, silicon debug, performance validation, and platform deployment activities by helping define the data, tools, and analysis flows needed to diagnose performance issues.
- Collaborate with software, firmware, and tools teams to ensure profiling data can be correlated across hardware counters, traces, operating-system events, runtime behavior, and application-level workload characteristics., At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email accommodations@arm.com. To note, by sending us the requested information, you consent to its use by Arm to arrange for appropriate accommodations. All accommodation or adjustment requests will be treated with confidentiality, and information concerning these requests will only be disclosed as necessary to provide the accommodation. Although this is not an exhaustive list, examples of support include breaks between interviews, having documents read aloud, or office accessibility. Please email us about anything we can do to accommodate you during the recruitment process.
Hybrid Working
Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
