Job Overview
An outstanding opportunity for a motivated person to contribute to the strategic direction of Arm-based systems, from smartphones to cars to datacenters. We are looking for a motivated architect to lead the definition and demonstration of Quality of Service capabilities across our IP portfolio and systems.
Responsibilities
- Specify Quality of Service requirements across our IP portfolio necessary to meet system-level requirements for real-time predictability, power management, performance, freedom from interference, and “noisy neighbor” service level containment.
- Work with solution architects to distil QoS requirements and specify QoS aspects of system architecture that meet those requirements.
- Collaborate with architects for AMBA and the Arm architecture as required to enable future QoS capabilities.
- Define and lead methodologies for demonstrating that QoS architecture meets requirements, both in theory and in real systems.
Required Skills And Experience
- Experience of building systems with robust QoS capabilities, including meeting requirements for hard real-time devices, in conjunction with some of the other QoS considerations listed in Responsibilities above.
- Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with an ability to build consensus across multiple teams on technical topics.
- Understanding of QoS theory and ability to consider and evaluate alternative approaches.
- Experience of RTL design, sufficient to understand the impact on system area, speed, and power of architectural decisions.
- Proficiency in coding in Python or similar scripting language.
- Self-motivated to set and achieve goals.
