Job Overview:
Our group writes the layer of the driver that implements the popular GPU
compute APIs, such as OpenCL, which provide massively parallel execution of
general purpose (C-like) code on Mali GPUs, often known as GPGPU (General-
purpose computing on graphics processing units).
Our many customers have performance-critical GPU compute use cases that
include machine learning (ML), image processing & computer vision (CV), video
encoding and decoding.
Mobile devices are highly constrained environments, and
our challenge is to provide this sophisticated functionality, while improving
both dependability and efficiency.
If you want to develop your skills and understanding in these technologies,
this is the opportunity for you.
Join us and together we will make GPU compute
and Mali a success in our customers hands!
## Your new team
You will join a multifaceted, collaborative and highly motivated Agile
software development team working on the GPU compute drivers for the next
generation Mali mobile GPUs.
You will develop with the latest yet-to-be-published Android versions and will
help craft the technologies that the mobile market will see in years to come.
This inclusive multinational development team is located in a cheerful campus
in Cambridge, the technological centre of the UK.
## Responsibilities:
We have different teams that handle the development, performance analysis and
optimisation of the GPU driver.
You may be adding new functionality to support
the latest GPUs, identifying optimisation opportunities to squeeze out that
last bit of performance, developing our infrastructure to ensure it supports
the ever-growing number of benchmarks that we run or working on many other
exciting tasks!
You will work in a Linux environment, working on Arm-based targets including
models, FPGAs and silicon from our partner companies (thereby covering past,
present and future generations of our designs).
As a member of an Agile team, you will have the chance to try your hand at
different aspects of our work.
Engineers grow their expertise through in-house
and externally hosted training, and through peer code reviews.
You will be working closely together with our community of engineering teams
across Arm's European design centres developing technologies for the current
and next generations of Arm Mali GPUs.
* Participating in all phases of software development – including design, implementation, testing, code review and documentation.
* Implementing new features in the driver andor infrastructure.
* Testing and analysing the functionality and performance of our software.
* Performing design and code reviews for other team members.
* Engaging with the rest of the team for investigation, estimation and planning purposes.
* Maintaining the existing codebase: fixing bugs and other quality assurance activities.
* Promoting and demonstrating the Arm core beliefs and behaviours.
## Required Skills and Experience :
* Experience in C and C++ programming.
* An understanding of embedded hardware architectures and software engineering development practices.
* Proficiency in problem solving and debugging with a practical, organised and analytical approach to work.
* Good interpersonal team-working skills, self-motivated and results focused.
* Good written and spoken English.
## "Nice To Have" Skills and Experience :
* Experience of OpenCL, CUDA, or Vulkan.
* Experience in scripting with Python and Bash.
* Knowledge of software optimisation, profiling and instrumentation techniques.
* Experience developing software for Linux or Android based systems.
* Experience with data analysis and statistics.
* Experience with machine learning.
* Knowledge of the internal operation of compilers (particularly LLVM), although this is not a compiler role.
* Familiarity with Git, and bug tracking tools.
* Experience in creating design and test specifications and in the creation and maintenance of test suites.
* Automation skills, with exposure to Docker.
* Experience with Agile development processes.
* Experience of driver or HAL development.
* Working exposure to software development for a commercial organisation.
## In Return:
We have a strong background of building up expertise in people, so this is an
excellent opportunity to learn something new and interesting in a friendly and
collaborative environment.
You will get to contribute to our Mali and
Immortalis GPU product lines, learn about the latest GPU technologies, utilise
your engineering skills to support and influence the technologies used on
millions of devices.
