Quick answer: A graduate-titled job at Arm that is real SoC performance analysis: running benchmarks on Linux and bare-metal, reading counters and traces, and writing the C/C++ and Python tooling that explains why the numbers landed where they did.

From Arm's job posting

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Run benchmarks and performance experiments in Linux and bare-metal environments. Collect and interpret metrics such as latency, bandwidth, throughput, and utilization.
  • Investigate performance bottlenecks using traces, counters, simulation results, and workload measurements, with guidance from senior engineers.
  • Develop and maintain C/C++ and Python scripts for workload characterization
  • Compare measured performance against architectural expectations and help identify the causes of gaps.

Experience Required

  • Experience in SoC Performance Analysis within the semiconductor industry
  • Strong background in computer architecture and microarchitecture, including pipelines, cache hierarchy, memory systems, and system-level performance interactions.
  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python for developing performance analysis tools, automation frameworks, profiling infrastructure, and data visualization.
  • experience working in both Linux and bare-metal environments, including:
  • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to clearly present complex performance findings and influence architectural decisions

HireSetu's note

The gap you're actually chasing

You'll run benchmarks and performance experiments across Linux and bare-metal, then pull latency, bandwidth, throughput and utilization out of them. The interesting part comes after: working out why a workload performed below what the architecture predicted, using counters, traces and simulation results. You get guidance from senior engineers, but the explaining is yours.

The experience list is written for someone who has already done SoC performance analysis in the semiconductor industry, which a fresh graduate won't match. Your own measurement work is what closes that gap: a perf or vtune session on a real workload, a cache experiment, a simulator run you set up and analysed. Say what you measured, what you expected, what you found.

Performance work reads differently from design work

Plenty of people see a chip architecture title and picture RTL, Verilog and block diagrams. This job sits above the blocks. You measure the SoC and explain its behaviour to architects whose decisions rest on your numbers. Both are technical, they use different muscles, and a CV full of your own block designs will read as a shift.

Arm leaves hybrid patterns to each team, so the office rhythm depends on the group. Ask the hiring team what theirs looks like.

Order your CV around architecture first

Lead with computer architecture: pipelines, cache hierarchy, memory systems and how they interact at system level. Everything else in this role hangs off that.

Then C/C++ and Python, presented as tools you built with. The listing names performance analysis tools, automation frameworks, profiling infrastructure and visualization, so a script that parses logs and plots a bandwidth curve beats a language sitting under Skills. Linux and bare-metal both appear, and bare-metal means no OS underneath, so board bring-up, bootloader or driver work from college or an internship deserves a line.
