Graduate Engineer

Analyze and optimize the performance of Arm’s next-generation mobile System-on-Chip (SoC) designs by identifying bottlenecks and improving CPU, GPU, and system-level performance.

Job Description:

Would you love to investigate performance issues and suggest product improvements on the different parts of a Mobile Phone's System-on-a-Chip? Would you like to analyse the performance of Arm's future CPUs, graphics processors (GPUs) and Interconnect IPs when they are working together?

Arm's Client 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 and advanced software modelling, we are regularly influencing Arm's engineering teams and its partners.

Responsibilities:
You will join the Systems Performance Analysis team within Central Technology as the System Analysis Engineer.

You will run experiments on a pre-Silicon SoC environment analysing the performance of the different Arm components (CPU, GPU, etc) using use-cases close to the ones run on mobile phones. You will help bringing up some of these use cases and understanding their behaviour on future mobile phones. You will be in charge of finding the different potential bottlenecks and help providing solutions.

More than anything else, you have a willingness to absorb as much as possible about this new challenge.
