Principal Hardware Engineer

Job Description

Job Overview:

Our growing team investigates how consumer-focused devices deliver outstanding performance within highly constrained power and thermal budgets. This investigation goes beyond simple number gathering, with detailed benchmarking measuring what matters most to real users.

This data from real physical devices is used by architects, engineering teams, and product managers to improve our future products. We always keep in mind the end use of our benchmarking results, working collaboratively to produce great outcomes for Arm and our partners.

Responsibilities:

The engineer joining our established team would extend our capabilities with their expertise in power efficiency analysis, working to:

1. Design new experiments to capture performance data targeting key hypotheses to explore,
2. Lead efforts analyzing power traces to produce power efficiency data, making this repeatable for others on the team,
3. Represent our data and interests in discussions with Partners and other teams in Arm.

Required Skills and Experience:

We spend most of our time working to get high-quality data from devices designed for people rather than engineers. This brings its own challenges, so we are looking for an engineer who:

• Is self-motivated and curious, committed to finding creative ways to measure the power efficiency of the latest tech,
• Has a proactive approach to problem solving, with the ability to adapt or write new microbenchmarks to target experiment outcomes where required,
• Has a high attention to detail and standards of quality,
• Is proficient at using tools such as Python to post-process data, produce statistical summaries, and performance reports in a repeatable manner.

Nice To Have Skills and Experience:

The following are desirable in our ideal new team member:

• Experience in coaching, mentoring, or line management,
• Understanding the challenges of experimenting across many variables, and strategies to bring clarity to these situations,
• Practical experience in software development as part of a team, contributing both function and architectural direction to large-scale automation systems.

In Return:

You will work on the latest consumer devices and play a meaningful role in delivering new technology to billions. Collaborating across Arm from design to support, you'll gain technical expertise and insight into chip development.
