ARM Principal Power Performance Engineer 

United Kingdom, England, Cambridge 

206370633

The engineering leader joining our team would exercise considerable freedom to experiment and find knowledge gaps we need to close. A typical day would include:

• Planning work from hypothesis to insight, with scope to adapt critical use cases and workloads to get the data required.
• Leading efforts analysing power traces to produce power efficiency data, making this repeatable for others on the team.
• Presenting our data and interests in a compelling manner in discussions with Partners and other teams in Arm.

We spend considerable effort to collect and refine data from consumer grade devices (aimed at people rather than engineers). We need our leaders in this domain to make the complicated simple, bringing the following experience and skills:

• Well-used strategies for handling experiments spanning many variables, working through ambiguity to bring clarity to both strategy and outcomes.
• A tenacious approach to problem solving, with the ability to adapt or write new microbenchmarks to specifically target experiment outcomes where required.
• Excellent technical communication skills for a range of audiences, from written reports to more traditional tech presentations.

The following are things that we would be looking for in our ideal new team member:

• Is self-motivated and always thinking of ways to improve how we work.
• Is proficient at using tools such as Python to post-process data, produce statistical summaries and performance reports. Bonus points if this is flexible enough to be reused over and over again!
• Experience in leadership, coaching, mentoring or line management.
