Job Overview
As a Senior CPU Performance Benchmarking Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of designing Arm’s power‑efficient CPUs for the next generation of workloads. You will define and deliver critical performance and power metrics, apply innovative analysis techniques, and uncover opportunities to push processor and cache performance even further. Beyond engineering, you’ll mentor junior engineers and collaborate across global teams to refine and optimise shared practices.
Responsibilities
* Analyse and report CPU/IP performance across the full development cycle.
* Collaborate with designers and performance engineers to improve power, performance, and area (PPA) of IPs.
* Develop and enhance infrastructure that employs emulators, simulators, and FPGAs to evaluate performance and power.
* Provide actionable insights to customers, architects, and marketing teams on how IPs perform across different scenarios and use cases.
* Strong grasp of CPU micro‑architecture concepts (pipelines, caches, predictors, MMUs).
* Hands‑on experience with low‑level embedded C or assembly for coding, testing, optimisation, and debugging.
* Proficiency in Linux environments with strong scripting skills (Shell, Python, or Perl).
Nice To Have Skills and Experience
* Solid background in CPU performance analysis using industry benchmarks.
* Familiarity with HDL languages (Verilog/VHDL) and RTL simulator/emulator environments.
* Exposure to hardware design and/or CPU performance modelling.
* Understanding of the Arm instruction set architecture and assembly language.
* Familiarity with compilers and code generation techniques.
* Broader knowledge of system architecture.
* A strong academic background with a degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or a related field.
