Job Description

About the role

We are looking to add exceptional computer architecture researchers to our teams at ARM in San Jose, CA, and Cambridge, UK. As the industry's leading supplier of microprocessor technology, ARM provides efficient, low-power technology making electronic innovations come to life. ARM employees contribute to a rich ecosystem by designing and developing CPUs, graphics processors, complex system IP, supporting software development tools, and physical libraries. These contributions will enable more than one thousand ARM partners to ship over 10 billion leading-edge ARM-powered processors each year.

What will I be accountable for?

ARM Research plays a central role in identifying gaps in current technologies and in conducting world-leading research to fill those gaps. You will join a team responsible for defining a long-term architecture roadmap and delivering this through a combination of internal and external research activities. Collaborating closely with product development teams and a large network of external researchers in both industry and academia, you will have the opportunity to shape the industry at the early stages of development. As part of your role you will engage with our academic network to enable and influence innovative research world-wide.

You will join a team whose architecture and systems research activities cover a wide range of disciplines including mobile and laptop personal computing platforms and applications; server, cloud, and HPC computing; emerging memory technologies; interconnects; design and analysis of security protocols; safe and fault tolerant systems; exploiting parallelism with vector, SIMD, throughput, and multicore architecture; machine learning and computer vision; robotics; and data analytics. If you have an established track record in one or more of these areas and have demonstrated skills of innovative research with the ability to develop original research agendas and execute projects successfully, you could be a great fit to join our team.
