Joining us as a graduate is the first step in building a fascinating, stimulating, and rewarding technology career. From software engineering to microchip design to IP, our graduates are employed across the company in all areas of our global operations, from Cambridge to Austin to Trondheim.
We are looking for multiple graduate engineers who are passionate about Computer architecture, building systems and/or CPU Performance to join our CPU Platform and Performance teams.
Our platform team develops CPU Subsystems used for functional and performance verification of a whole range of newly designed Arm CPUs. Sitting at a crucial point in enabling our OS verification and performance benchmarking teams, you will learn how innovative architecture affects CPU platforms, how to deploy them on emulators and FPGAs.
Our performance team is responsible for ensuring that Arm's CPUs deliver the performance and power levels that we have promised to our partners. To make this possible, we have two different types of roles, both working closely together as well as with engineers in the CPU design teams:
Our performance modelling engineers are in charge of the development and maintenance of the C++ software models used to explore the design space and identify the micro-architectural features for future cores.
Our benchmarking team is more hardware focussed and as well as measuring the performance and power consumption of Arm CPU designs, ensures that the hardware design correlates with the performance models and delves into the microarchitecture to help understand and resolve performance issues.
In this role you will
Work in a multi-site, multi-cultural environment and will have the opportunity to work on different projects and some of your responsibilities will include:
- Understanding the architecture requirements of each new generation of CPUs
- Participating in design and development of platforms for verification/performance analysis
- Bring-up new CPUs, developing boot S/W before delivering platforms to customers
- Debugging performance bottle-necks/functional issues in simulation, emulation and FPGA
- Developing performance models using C++
- Analysing the performance of Arm CPUs using selected industry-standard benchmarks
- Providing inputs to design teams on the performance of CPUs and various new architectural features
- Developing and enhancing software tools to improve the impact of your team and customers.
We're looking for individuals who are
You need to hold, or be on track to hold a degree by the time the programme starts. This can be a Bachelor, Master or equivalent in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or other relevant subjects such as Physics or Maths.
Qualities that will help your application stand out:
Whilst we will develop and enhance your experience and skills on program, there are a few things that you need to offer too, such as:
- Good understanding of computer architecture fundamentals
- Familiarity with basic digital design concepts and an interest in processor and digital systems
- Strong C and/or C++ programming skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- Creativity and ability to communicate ideas effectively
Additional information
We encourage early applications and review them on the first come and first served basis.
Graduate Start Date: September 2024
We are aiming to complete our recruitment process and communicate application outcomes by February 2024.
In return
In addition to a competitive salary and comprehensive rewards package, you'll also receive the support, autonomy and opportunity to excel your career.
With a mid-year, and year-end review you'll have two windows each year to progress recognising the pace at which you could grow. Attend our "Grad-teach-Grads" workshops, guest speaker series and various social events to expand your knowledge.
Want to take this a step further? Join our Graduate Committee and hone in on your planning, networking and co-ordination skills.
You'll also be invited to our exclusive Global Graduate Conference (GGC)! A yearly occurrence exclusive for Graduates allowing you to hear from executive members, inspiring speakers and make connections for life.
With many of our leaders and technical experts having originally joined as a Graduate, will you be next?
