Job Description
Would you love to investigate performance issues and suggest product improvements on the different parts of a Mobile Phone's System-on-a-Chip? Would you like to analyse the performance of Arm's future CPUs, graphics processors (GPUs) and Interconnect IPs when they are working together?

You will help bringing up some of these use cases and understanding their behaviour on future mobile phones. You will be in charge of finding the different potential bottlenecks and help providing solutions.
More than anything else, you have a willingness to absorb as much as possible about this new challenge.

This is centred around promoting and demonstrating the Arm core beliefs and behaviours.
