Job Overview:

Arm’s System Performance Team in the Central Technology Group assesses and evaluates the novel technologies that are used in Arm’s industry-leading products – from data centres to IoT, by analysing their benefits to a System. Our work feeds into these technologies, in a hardware-software co-design approach.

Our team looks for an experienced Engineer to join us in analysing and influencing the design of Arm Systems. The job involves studying, understanding, abstracting and modelling applications and workloads that run on Arm Systems, that span across different areas such as AI/ML, Computer Vision, Media, Gaming, and Productivity, and also owning and driving targeted analyses.

This role is multifaceted, and you are encouraged to both think out of the box and follow well-known strategies! The end goal is to help improve Arm's Products in every release. You will be contributing to that goal by: analysing how each Arm-based system works and how does it run those different applications; abstracting the entire stack in our system modelling apparatus; and iterating on interpreting the results and re-experimenting with the stack's abstraction.

The output of these studies will be consumed by multiple design teams that work on the system, providing recommendations for improving its performance and efficiency.

Responsibilities:

Drive investigations and analyses in less obvious areas and technologies

Understand, decompose, and abstract how a given software application maps and runs on the underlying hardware

Simulate the abstracted stack's execution on our models

Collaborate with the product teams to improve the relevant hardware blocks

Deliver targeted analysis studies to key internal and external partners

Required Skills and Experience :

More than 6 years of industrial experience

Experience with driving deep tech studies

Hands-on experience on Software and Hardware performance analysis

Strong statistics background

Expertise on Computer and System Architecture, and Software Stacks designs

Very comfortable with using scripting languages (e.g. Python)

Good experience with any procedural programming language (e.g. C, C++)

Strong shell scripting skills (e.g. bash)

Confident git user

Attention to detail

“Nice To Have”s:

Experience with Compilers and Runtimes

Experience with GPU Software and Media

Experience with MS Windows performance analysis / app development / system internals

Experience with kernel scheduling and power management

Expertise in parallelisation and concurrency

In Return:

You'll be influencing Arm products' design; working with a group of highly capable, innovative, and committed engineers in a multi-cultural environment that supports everyone for success; getting frequently opportunities to grow as an individual and further your skills and career.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
