CPU Performance Modelling Engineer of all level - Create something that the world is waiting to see!

Job description

Job Description

ARM is looking for an exceptional individual to take a technical leadership role in growing our modelling and performance analysis capability, in order to further aid CPU design.

The performance modelling team within the CPU group is responsible for early performance exploration and performance analysis of the next generation CPUs. The team interacts closely with the CPU RTL designers to investigate and evaluate new micro-architectural ideas and design trade-offs to shape the micro-architecture for the next products. To evaluate these ideas and drive the performance of the CPUs, the team develops C++ based performance models of the micro-architecture.

Job Purpose

The key objectives of this role include:

·  You will drive the technical direction of the modelling and performance analysis team, which develops, tests and maintains software models of ARM's advance CPUs.
·  To collaborate with hardware design engineers to prune the design space of next generation products, understanding performance opportunities on current processors and investigate potential micro-architectural enhancements.
·  Taking a leadership role in the development, testing and maintenance of the software performance models for ARM’s advanced CPU and system level IPs
·  Technically supporting other engineers by sharing your technical expertise and experience.
·  To contribute to the continuous improvement of ARM modelling methodologies.
·  This role requires close interaction with ARM development teams working on micro-architecture design, advanced architectures, software development, and validation.
