Principal Gpu Architect @Arm

Cambridge, GB

I define the hardware architecture of next-generation Mali GPUs with a focus on scheduling behavior, PPA-optimized microarchitecture, hardware–firmware interaction, and long-term architectural direction. I propose and evaluate new architectural ideas by modifying the GPU model, running benchmarks to analyze PPA, and providing recommendations to engineering teams. I occasionally develop RTL prototypes to validate concepts or unblock implementation. My work spans compute, fragment, and geometry pipelines as well as memory subsystem behavior across GPU generations.Prior to moving into the GPU team as a Principal GPU Architect in 2019, I worked across the ISP and Display teams, gaining broad system-level experience across multimedia IPs. As a Principal Research Engineer in the Display team (2018–2019), I contributed to Arm’s AR/VR display-processing roadmap, including lens distortion and chromatic aberration correction, frame-rate up-conversion, and foveated rendering. As a Principal Engineer in the ISP team (2016–2018), I translated concepts into implementable hardware architectures; developed a fixed-rate compression approach and supporting hardware microarchitecture targeting visually lossless compression at practical ratios; designed an AC lighting flicker reduction algorithm and hardware microarchitecture for rolling-shutter image sensors; and evaluated HLS toolchains to assess the feasibility of integrating them into the development workflow.
