Staff Software Engineer – DSP & AI Optimisation

Overview

In this role you will design, bring up, and optimize DSP and AI workloads on Arm-based platforms. You’ll work closely with hardware architects and software teams to enable platforms, port operating systems, and demonstrate performance of Arm solutions. You’ll tackle low-level embedded development, processor architecture awareness, and system-level integration to deliver scalable, high-performance workloads. Join a collaborative team shaping future Arm technologies through hands-on optimization and demonstrations.

Responsibilities

• Platform bring-up across bare-metal, RTOS, Zephyr and embedded Linux
• Performance optimization of DSP, audio, vision and AI workloads using Arm features (MVE, NEON, SVE2, SME)
• Develop and optimize compute libraries and kernels (FFT, filters, image processing, ML preprocessing)
• System integration of sensors, memory subsystems, DMA, accelerators, and software components
• Benchmarking and profiling using hardware counters and profiling tools
• Technical demonstrations of Arm processors and accelerators
• Collaboration with processor architects, software teams, and silicon partners to identify bottlenecks and propose improvements

Key requirements

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and low-level embedded programming
• Solid understanding of processor architectures, memory hierarchies, caches, DMA, and interrupt handling
• Familiarity with RTOS, Zephyr, or Linux
• Experience with performance profiling and code optimization
• Familiarity with DSP algorithms, fixed-point arithmetic, and SIMD/vector processing
• Experience with embedded development tools, compilers, debuggers, and hardware evaluation boards
• Strong problem-solving abilities and collaborative mindset
• Strong communication skills

• collaboration
• problem-solving
• communication
• Arm Cortex-M and Cortex-A architectures
• MVE (Helium), NEON, SVE2, or assembly-level optimization
• CMSIS-DSP, CMSIS-NN, or equivalent compute libraries
