Would you like to join the team that defines the micro-architecture of the future Arm CPUs and influence the future by crafting products that millions of people will use all over the world? We are looking for engineers willing to accept the challenge of proposing and exploring ideas that will define very successful products, as well as building and supporting initiatives that will improve our methodologies and perform wider and faster explorations of the CPU design space.
The performance team within the CPU group is responsible for early performance exploration and analysis that drive the definition of the next generation Arm CPUs. By joining the team, you will interact closely with the CPU RTL designers and implementation teams to investigate and evaluate new micro-architectural ideas and design trade-offs that will make the micro-architecture for the next products successful for the target sectors.
You will evaluate these ideas and analyse CPU performance and power developing and using C++ based models of the micro-architecture. You will also coach and mentor more junior engineers to help them grow and become deep experts in the field.
Responsibilities:
The key objectives of this role include:
* You will help drive the technical direction of the team, which develops, tests, and maintains software models of Arm's advanced CPUs.
* You will engage with hardware design engineers to prune the design space of next generation products, understanding power and performance opportunities on current processors and investigate potential micro-architectural improvements.
* You will support the mentorship and coaching of other specialists; sharing your technical expertise and experience.
* With your help, we will keep improving the effectiveness of Arm modeling methodologies.
* We are closely interacting not only with hardware designers but also with other CPU performance modeling teams across the world. You would be involved in the communication and alignment of activities related to integration, methodologies, strategies, etc.
Required Skills & Experience:
* Good interpersonal skills and capacity to work efficiently with local and remote teams.
* Experience of performance modeling and an understanding of CPU micro-architecture.
* Experience of exploring and evaluating ideas and performance related to processor micro-architecture.
* Proven experience in C++.
'Nice to Have' Skills & Experience:
* Experience with power models.
* Strong software development experience, including design specification, coding, testing, and debugging.
* Experience with RTL and SystemC simulators.
* Familiarity with Arm architectures and instruction sets.
* Knowledge of System Architecture and System Software including OS kernel internals.
* Experience of Unix development environment.
* You will have a good university degree, ideally in electronic engineering or computer science, although other graduates would be considered if they have meaningful experience.
* Team leadership, including planning and managing tasks, as well as delivery to specification and schedule.
In Return:
You will get to utilize your engineering skills to build support for technologies and influence millions of devices for years to come. You’ll share ideas with and learn new skills from some of the best engineers in the world!
