Performance Engineer - EDA workloads

Title: Performance Engineer - EDA workloads

Location: Austin United States

Category: Hardware Engineering

Job Description:

Arm is looking for a Performance Engineer to help optimize compute, storage, and workflow performance across our engineering platform. You'll focus on identifying inefficiencies, diagnosing bottlenecks, and supporting improvements across large-scale compute clusters and cloud environments.

This role is part of our broader effort to improve infrastructure efficiency and support the evolving demands of high-throughput workloads, including verification and implementation workloads.

You'll work closely with architects, infrastructure teams, and flow owners to analyze real-world usage and help ensure our systems are tuned for performance and scale.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Analyze performance of compute and storage infrastructure in production
• Identify areas for tuning based on metrics and system behavior
• Support improvements to job configurations and scheduling efficiency
• Help develop tooling and dashboards to surface performance trends
• Collaborate with platform and flow teams to validate and document findings

REQUIRED SKILLS:

• Experience with EDA tooling and workflow patterns.
• Experience with EDA workflows or engineering compute pipelines.
• Experience working in Linux-based environments, particularly in performance-sensitive contexts
• General experience working in compute or storage-heavy environments
• Familiarity with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Linux-based telemetry
• Familiarity with profiling tools

NICE TO HAVE:

• Knowledge of how engineering teams use simulation tools or other high-throughput workloads
• Ability to troubleshoot issues related to CPU, memory, I/O, or network performance
• Exposure to basic job scheduling systems (e.g., LSF, Jenkins, SLURM)

IN RETURN:

You'll work on meaningful technical challenges in a supportive and fast-paced environment. This role offers exposure to cutting-edge compute infrastructure and the opportunity to grow into a more senior performance or systems architecture role over time.

Salary Range:

$126,100-$170,500 per year

We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm. Salary is only one component of Arm's offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during the recruitment and selection process.

Hybrid Working at Arm

Arm's approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team's needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution.
