Staff Performance Modeling Engineer

Job Overview:

The Central Technologies Group (CTG) at Arm is responsible for defining the architecture of the best-in-class silicon demonstrators that are based on Arm’s IP compute sub-system solutions. These designs incorporate a wide range of Arm components to construct a full system and target markets like premium mobile, infrastructure and automotive.

As a SoC modelling engineer you will be responsible for ensuring the success of these designs by running system level performance analysis much ahead of the RTL and providing feedback to System Architects and IP design leads.

Responsibilities:

• Engaging with System architects on future systems within Arm.
• Creating full system simulation models using a range of IP performance models from across the company.
• Working with architects and design teams to characterize the system and finding opportunities to optimize configuration.
• Defining and leading investigations that are aimed at benchmarking the efficiency of new IP features in a full system context.
• Building infrastructure to enable better inspection and root-cause analysis of such systems.
• Helping to define future direction of system performance modelling across Arm.
  
  

Required Skills and Experience:

• Bachelors, Masters, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with a strong computer architecture, microarchitecture, performance experience.
• Prefer five years or  more of proven modeling experience.
• Experience in performance modeling, workload analysis, performance bottleneck debug and analysis.
• Strong C/C++ programming and debugging skills.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to work in teams and to collaborate with colleagues in other groups and sites.
  
  

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

• Knowledge of on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA, coherency flows, interconnects, memory subsystems
• Knowledge of CPU microarchitecture.
• Experience in evaluating/benchmarking system level performance using performance monitors.
• Exposure to performance analysis and tuning in pre- and post-silicon environments.
  
  

In Return:

We are offering a hybrid approach to home and office working to provide an adaptable experience for all employees. We expect some working time to be spent in office, to promote a strong collaborative environment with good team integration but are accommodating to different home working requirements.
