Job Overview:
Are you a skilled and motivated engineer with a strong analytical mentality?
We are building the future of computing, on Arm. We want to make Arm-based hardware the natural choice for AI everywhere. To that end, we truly believe that we need to enable functionality and performance of major AI solutions on Arm technology from day one even before the silicon is ready.
Our team is a diverse, dedicated and inclusive group from all over the world based in Arm's headquarters in Cambridge. The team works on all aspects of researching, developing and delivering in-depth understanding of current and future AI software, systems and IP.
This role will directly contribute towards predicting how Arm's AI hardware IP will perform under various workloads by evaluating bandwidth, latency and power behaviour. It ensures that AI hardware delivers the expected functionality, performance, efficiency and reliability for the workloads across various markets and devices. The detailed analysis that we will produce will advise and influence decisions made by engineering, marketing and external partners.
Responsibilities:
The role of Performance Engineer requires to:
- Utilise pre-silicon platforms for next-gen systems to gain insights into new use cases
- Ensure that IP and system around it delivers powerful AI performance
- Engage with specialists across Arm to understand, explore and challenge the limits of performance capabilities
- Help to influence direction of AI software and IP
Required Skills and Experience :
- Software development, with very good programming skills, preferably C++ and Python
- Ability to quickly investigate and debug large software frameworks
- A real passion for data analysis
- Curiosity to make positive impact, both in our team, and in the wider Arm ecosystem
- Very good interpersonal, collaboration and communication skills
- A degree, or higher in computational or numerate subject, or experience in a related field
Note: Training may be provided if you have only a subset of these key skills!
The Tech You Will Work On
In this role you will focus on analysing and enabling optimal performance and power efficiency for advanced machine learning and compute workloads on next-generation Arm IPs and systems, including emerging architectural features such as the Scalable Matrix Extension (SME). You'll work with pioneering pre-silicon platforms: software models, RTL simulation, emulation, and FPGA environments. These platforms are critical for assessing and validating these next-generation designs. Another core aspect of the role is work on evaluating and tuning neural network execution across frameworks like LiteRT, ONNX Runtime, and the Arm Compute Library (ACL) to fully exploit the capabilities of brand-new Arm hardware to achieve the best performance to power ratio. You will also work on low-level system software and develop advanced debugging skills in a pre-silicon context.
In Return:
You will be joining an outstanding company! We strive to provide an open and accepting environment where you are encouraged to share your ideas and opinions; which enables collective innovation and creativity, and supports your professional and personal growth. In addition, we enjoy 25 days of annual leave as well as progressive parental leave, support for flexible and hybrid working, and many other benefits that Arm offers.
