Deliver solutions to complex problems that may be ambiguous and/or lacking clear precedent. These problems include CPU performance, microarchitecture design, tool infrastructure, methodology, and so on.  Plan, drive, and evaluate ARM’s architecture features from both architecture and performance angles. Define and write CPU subsystem architecture specifications. Lead the collaboration with RTL, design verification, and physical design teams to develop a high performance and efficient CPU implementation. Drive performance correlation between the performance model and RTL implementation and perform pre-silicon and post-silicon performance bug triage.

Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 10 years of experience in microprocessor architecture, microarchitecture, performance and design. Experience with CPU architecture with CPU blocks, along with performance modeling, analysis, correlation, and workload characterization. Experience with processor instruction set architecture (e.g., ARM, RISC-V, x86) and system software components, such as Linux, drivers, and runtime. Preferred qualifications: Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture. Experience in performance modeling, debugging, and demonstrating the benefits of new ideas. Knowledge of processor instruction set architecture (e.g., ARM, RISC-V, x86). Ability to generate innovative microarchitectural ideas to improve performance in actual silicon. Strong critical thinking, communication, and advocacy skills.
