Principal System Telemetry Architect for AI Platforms

Arm; Austin (TX); Hybrid; USD 250,000 - 338,000; Full time

Job summary

Arm is seeking a Principal System Performance Telemetry Architect in the United States. The role focuses on shaping the performance telemetry and profiling architecture for AI infrastructure, edge platforms, and physical AI systems.

You will design hardware counters, events, traces, and data collection across CPUs, accelerators, memory, and multi-die SoCs. You’ll work with SoC architects, performance engineers, software teams, and silicon bring-up to enable observability, analysis, and debugging

Qualifications

• Relevant experience in system architecture, performance engineering, or profiling for complex compute platforms.
• Strong understanding of heterogeneous SoC architectures (CPUs, accelerators, memory, interconnects).
• Experience with hardware performance counters, events, traces, profiling infrastructure, or observability to translate needs into telemetry requirements.
• Hands-on profiling tools such as NVIDIA Nsight, Intel VTune, Linux perf, Arm Streamline, or Arm Performance Studio.

Responsibilities

• Define system-level performance telemetry architecture including hardware counters, events, metrics, traces, and data collection across CPUs, accelerators, memory, interconnects, I/O, and multi-die SoCs.
• Drive architecture specifications and performance analysis methodologies for workload characterization, bottleneck identification, and system optimization across Arm-based platforms.
• Architect mechanisms to collect, correlate, and expose performance telemetry across SoC components and software layers.
• Collaborate with SoC architects, performance engineers, and profiling teams to translate needs into telemetry requirements.
• Provide architectural guidance to software, firmware, and tooling teams to enable effective use of hardware telemetry for profiling and optimization.
• Support silicon bring-up, performance validation, and debug while providing technical leadership.
