The Staff Field Application Engineer drives adoption of Arm server SoCs, providing technical support, performance analysis, and training to customers while collaborating with internal teams on system integration and optimization.
Job Overview
Arm is looking for a Senior Partner Manager (Cloud AI & Datacenter Silicon) to drive sales engagement and foster long-term collaborations across a portfolio of named Cloud AI and Datacenter accounts, including hyperscalers, cloud service providers, AI-native infrastructure companies, digital platform leaders, storage and networking innovators, and next-generation silicon partners developing Arm-based solutions.
This is a senior individual contributor role passionate about advancing adoption of Arm-based technologies across cloud infrastructure, AI training and inference platforms, datacenter systems, custom silicon initiatives, and heterogeneous compute environments. Of the target accounts, some are early-stage or underpenetrated, so the role requires proactive business development, executive relationship creation, multi-threaded account planning, and disciplined opportunity progression.
You will operate at the crossroads of advanced compute, infrastructure strategy, and commercial delivery. The position demands active interaction with customer executives, architects, infrastructure leaders, and silicon teams, along with close cooperation with Arm Field Applications Engineers, business units, product management, engineering, ecosystem, and marketing groups.
As a senior commercial leader, you will turn Arm's architectural expertise into lasting, valuable customer partnerships. You will secure strategic design wins and encourage long-term platform use within key Cloud AI and Datacenter accounts in North America.
