- Conduct competitive analysis comparing microarchitecture and workload performance metrics on NVIDIA's ARM SoCs against emerging processors from other silicon vendors.

- Influence and drive full-stack adoption of performance optimizations and best practices across NVIDIA SW products and OSS SDKs.

**Requirements:**

- BS or MS degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related degree (or equivalent experience).

- 6+ years of relevant computer architecture or SW development experience.

- Proven leadership skills and strong ownership on past projects.

- Hands-on technical experience and demonstrated excellence in an environment with complex software and hardware designs.

- Strong understanding of multicore hardware, operating systems design, concurrency, virtual memory, caching, interrupts, device drivers, and real-time programming.

- Strong skills in performance analysis, data analysis, and performance optimization.

- Strong use of Linux perf tool and application/library performance optimizations.

**Preferred Qualifications:**

- Deep expertise in ARM architecture and SW ecosystem.

- Proficient in analyzing, debugging, and tuning performance of complex system software stacks.

- Experience with CPU server system workloads and performance analysis.

- Familiarity with CUDA programming and/or GPUs.
