Your contribution will advance both Arm power and performance specification and standards roadmaps, and the wider Arm ecosystem.

The ideal candidate will be:
- An excellent communicator Sharing the progress of tasks, and seeking feedback from your colleagues is how you work.
- Comfortable coping with uncertainty & resolving ambiguity, as you will be setting the direction

Responsibilities:

- Understand system capability gaps and propose architectural solutions. Demonstrate viability of proposed mechanisms in the latest generations of Arm systems via prototypes.
- Craft and perform experiments and analysis to answer architectural questions, and use/modify software on silicon, simulators, models, profilers, and other methods and tools as necessary to implement the analysis.
- Propose and demonstrate new Operating-System (e.g., Linux) and/or firmware based mechanisms to improve power and thermals.
- Document and communicate architectural concepts and results clearly and credibly across both external and external audiences, ranging from individual hardware or software development engineers, to architecture community peers, and to high level technology and business leadership.
- Plan and collaborate with external partners and other groups in Arm to gain consensus and successful landing of proposed architecture.
- Create and/or maintain Arm standard specifications.

Required Skills and Experience:

- Bachelor of Science degree in EE/ECE/CE/CS or related fields.
- Strong programming skills using languages such as C, and experience developing Linux kernel drivers and embedded firmware.
- Understanding of power management mechanisms in Operating Systems (like Linux, Windows) and firmware.
- Working experience using firmware interfaces such as ACPI or device tree.
- Proven record of driving features from concept to realization working across organizational boundaries and external partners.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

- Arm CPU and SoC system architectures.
- Knowledge about power and thermal management software, firmware and systems across market segments like servers, mobiles/laptops, IoT and automotive.
- Understanding the key use cases, design constraints and workloads in a modern smartphone, laptop or Server SoC, including use of virtualization.
- Debuggers and other tools and techniques to analyze how the OS and applications use the underlying hardware.
- Experience driving standards and specifications.

In Return:

We at the heart of the world's most sophisticated digital products. Our technology enables the generation of new markets and transformation of industries and society. We craft scalable, energy efficient-processors and related technologies. Our innovative technology is licensed by Arm Partners who have shipped more than 50 billion Systems on Chip containing our intellectual property.
