Graduate CPU Micro-architect and Performance Modelling Engineer

Job Overview:

Do you have deep, low-level software knowledge and a keen interest in processor micro-architecture? Take up the challenge to increase the performance of tomorrow’s processors! We are looking for an enthusiastic engineer to join Arm, help shape the future of technology and collaborate in the development of next-generation processors that fuel billions of devices world-wide.

Arm’s Sophia Antipolis design centre is located in one of the most beautiful parts of France, at the heart of Europe’s largest and most dynamic technology park. Surrounded by mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this exceptional design centre has delivered leading products from Arm’s Cortex (TM) processor family.

As Graduate CPU Micro-architect and Performance Modelling Engineer, you will be tasked with developing an internal CPU performance model with the latest micro-architectural improvement ideas, and performing associated micro-architectural investigations. The model is used initially during the early phases of projects to help and define the micro-architecture of the product, with a specific focus on high performance and energy efficiency. It is then refined and tuned during the development phases to assess performance trade-offs, and used as a gold standard to ensure the product reaches its area, frequency, power and performance targets.
