What the role involves
- Leading detailed analysis of operating system performance for complex ICT systems.
- Using modelling and simulation techniques to study how next-generation systems behave.
- Finding execution bottlenecks and other hotspots that limit performance.
- Defining and working with performance metrics that help measure and improve system efficiency.

- Hands-on familiarity with performance modelling and simulation tools such as gem5 and QEMU is important.
- Experience building and maintaining gem5 simulators is specifically mentioned as valuable.
- Any background in software/hardware co-design methods would be a plus.
- The role suits someone with deep technical expertise rather than an entry-level candidate.
What is offered
- A very competitive salary and package.
- Bonus pay.
- An extensive benefits offering.
