How long have you been working with Arm?
I've been with Arm for around 14 years now, currently working in the Performance Analysis Team (PPA). My focus is on competitive analysis to compare our products' performance, power and area to that of competition. Over the years, my role has evolved, and I've been involved in various teams, from system testing to software and now PPA.
My journey at Arm began as an applications engineer, primarily working on system testing. Over the years, I transitioned through different teams, ultimately landing in PPA. The past few years have seen me taking on responsibilities related to competitive analysis and identifying areas for improvement in our products.
In 2014, I left Arm and began exploring opportunities elsewhere. However, I returned after a year, drawn back by the familiarity and flexibility Arm offered. The company's close-knit community and the possibility to explore various roles within made it feel like coming back home.
