About the role

This role is part of the rapidly growing Arm Cloud AI Business Unit, where we enable deployment of Arm AGI CPUs built on Arm Neoverse in Cloud, AI, and Networking markets. As a Systems Solutions Architect, you will work with partners in the ecosystem to define system definitions that drive growth and adoption of Arm Silicon and technologies for key cloud, AI, and data-center applications.

Responsibilities

• Drive key OEM and ODM partners to design cloud hardware solutions that bring together Arm’s SoC products, partner IP, and their key IP to provide best-in-class performance, power efficiency, scalability, and time-to-market.
• Work with SoC, Platforms, Software architects, and multi-functional teams (including hardware engineers, software developers, performance engineers, and researchers) to align system deployment strategies with system design goals for key target segments.
• Engage with end customers such as Hyperscalers, OEMs, ODMs, Accelerator and Memory/IO partners, and data-center system and software companies to understand cloud use-cases, requirements, and opportunities for Arm.
• Keep pace with the latest advancements in the AI data-center space, drive competitive analysis, and find innovative solutions to prepare Arm for success.
• Support Product Managers in defining SoC, Platform, IP, interconnect, and CSS designs for next-gen hardware.
• Promote Arm server solutions with partners and the wider industry, demonstrating both maturity of vision and technical leadership.
• Represent Arm’s interests at key industry forums and technology working groups to enable widespread adoption of Arm solutions.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (other degrees will be considered with relevant work experience).
• 10+ years as a systems/platforms architect with a background in Silicon and hardware design.
• Industry knowledge of various design points in the cloud, including servers, accelerators, networking, and storage equipment.
• Experience helping customers build and deploy hardware in cloud environments, covering rack-scale architecture, accelerator/IO interconnect, power efficiency, and cooling solutions.
• Experience working with Silicon and IP design and verification teams, board design and bring-up teams, system modeling, simulation, and emulation techniques.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build technical consensus across multiple teams and bring clarity to poorly defined and complex problems.

Nice-to-have Skills

• Understanding of cloud applications and software architecture and their impact on hardware designs (and vice versa).
• Knowledge of the Arm ecosystem of software and hardware partners.
• Familiarity with SoC design flow, validation, test/product engineering, and packaging techniques.
• Ability to generate consistent, complete, and concise written specifications.
• Experience driving industry standards and presenting at technical forums and events.
