Staff Systems Performance Analysis Engineer

Job Overview

Passionate in analysing performance bottlenecks and driving architectural improvements. Eager to expand into building SoC platforms for performance analysis? Arm's System-on-Chip (SoC) Performance Analysis Team in Central Technology Group builds early performance analysis platforms to enable system technology exploration on future Arm hardware. Using workload characterization and analysis, we influence future SoC, CPU and IP designs. We are seeking highly skilled and motivated performance analysis engineers to join our diverse team at Arm!

Responsibilities

• Run experiments on a pre-Silicon SoC environment analyzing performance of the different Arm components (CPU, GPU, etc.) using real world workloads.
• Bring up these use cases and understand their behavior in SoC environment.
• Find potential bottlenecks and help provide solutions.
• Collaborate with system architects to define future system architectures and create performance-driven test plans.
• Characterize real-world use cases and design workloads to evaluate system performance.
• Explore innovative approaches for workload analysis and develop supporting tools and workflows.

Required Skills and Experience

• Detailed understanding of computer architecture, microarchitecture and bus protocols.
• Experience in Python/Ruby, C/C++ and assembly language.
• Hands on experience in analyzing performance bottlenecks.
• Experience enabling workloads and benchmarks on RTL Emulation and Simulation environments.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
• Collaborative across teams and sites.

• Familiarity with SystemVerilog.
• Familiarity with ARM architecture.
• Experience with compilers, assemblers, or device drivers.

In Return

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.
