As a Principal Software Architect you would be directing a team in exploration, analysis, and prototyping of future system architectures across a spectrum of use-cases including edge, distributed systems, datacenter, and HPC to cultivate future architecture, micro-architecture, software, and system designs.
In the Architecture Technology Group Systems team, we have a diverse set of motivated engineers covering all aspects of system architecture. We work in partnership with customers, the open-source community, and internal engineering teams to analyze workloads and develop solutions for the Arm ecosystem which enable efficient, performant systems.
We are looking for experienced individuals with a strong software background who are willing to provide leadership to a small team exploring technologies which ultimately impact product and partner roadmaps with in a 5-10 year period.
Responsibilities:
Develop and implement an applied systems software research and development agenda in areas of interest (Datacentre, HPC, Client, Edge, IoT) which may incorporate elements of co-design of hardware architecture.
Lead a systems software team exploring new trends in technology, identifying gaps in existing solutions and product portfolios, innovating potential solutions, and developing/refining prototypes for evaluation which address identified gaps.
Required Skills and Experience:
- B.Sc. in Computer Engineering or Computer Science. Other degrees will also be considered with proven experience.
- Proven experience in systems software, distributed systems, systems architecture, or architecture.
- Experience estimating, modelling, and evaluating performance and efficiency of targeted workloads, preferably in a full-systems simulator.
- Strong programming skills using languages including C, C++, Go, Rust and/or Python along with excellent problem solving and debugging abilities
- Creative, multifaceted thinker, open minded with strong problem-solving skills
- Fast learner of new technologies.
- Comfortable coping with uncertainty & resolving ambiguity, as you will be setting the direction.
- Ability to work in a collaborative, diverse and inclusive environment across time zones.
- Excellent verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
- Masters or PhD in Electronic, Electrical or Computer Engineering.
- Experience with Arm processors, CPU architecture and SoC subsystems.
- Experience with Cloud Native development and/or deployment technologies.
- Working at the interface between software and hardware. For example device driver, run-time, operating systems, hypervisors or compiler development.
- Experience with distributed systems including modeling and understanding the performance of various network technologies, protocols, and infrastructures.
- Understanding the key use cases, application frameworks, and middleware for edge computing, data center, and/or HPC.
- Knowledge of die to die, 2D and 3D SoC partitioning.
- Personal projects and/or contributions to open source projects.
- Prior experience leading and/or managing small (4-5 people) teams.
In Return:
We are offering a hybrid approach to home and office working to provide an adaptable experience for all employees. We expect some working time to be spent in office, to promote a strong collaborative environment with good team integration but are accommodating to different home working requirements.
