Job Title

Senior Principal Real Time Interconnect Architect

Role Summary

Lead the definition and demonstration of Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities across Arm's interconnect IP and system architectures. Translate system-level real-time, performance, power and isolation requirements into QoS specifications and validation approaches.
