Arm\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Solution Engineering organization develops system-on-chip solutions for a range of application areas, using the latest IP from Arm and other vendors. This opening is for a creative, energetic SoC Design Engineer who will help build these systems and contribute across specification, design, and verification. The role sits within a team of engineers based in Manchester and Sheffield, and it also involves working closely with other Arm groups to deliver SoC products. Arm describes this as an important initiative that brings in new talent and semiconductor expertise to shape the next generation of compute built on Arm technology.<\/p>\n

The position is intended for someone who wants to play a meaningful part in the growth of Arm\u00e2\u0080\u0099s solution story and help define how future products are created. The work is broad and hands-on, covering architecture, RTL development, verification support, implementation support, and process improvement.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Contribute to the integration of complex IP blocks into SoCs, including CPU clusters, PCIe, DDR, and other high-speed I\/O technologies.<\/li>\n
  • Write micro-architecture specifications and develop RTL for advanced system-on-chip designs.<\/li>\n
  • Investigate and resolve bugs, then carry out design checks to confirm correctness and quality.<\/li>\n
  • Work alongside the verification team to review test plans and debug issues found during verification.<\/li>\n
  • Support backend implementation by helping with floorplanning, constraints, and timing closure activities.<\/li>\n
  • Help improve the design methods and engineering practices used by the team.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to stronger design quality by supporting standards, quality metrics, and inspection processes throughout the build flow.<\/li>\n
  • Provide technical guidance and day-to-day support to other team members so projects can succeed.<\/li>\n

    • Practical RTL design experience on complex SoC programs using Verilog and\/or SystemVerilog.<\/li>\n
    • Strong understanding of static design checks and implementation topics such as lint, CDC, RDC, synthesis, timing analysis, power management, and power or clock domain crossing.<\/li>\n
    • Experience working through the full design flow, from early concept and specification through implementation, power and performance analysis, optimization, testing, documentation, and ongoing support.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to create detailed specifications and technical documentation for sophisticated designs.<\/li>\n
    • Working knowledge of shell scripting languages and tools such as Tcl, Perl, or Python.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Helpful additional experience<\/h3>\n
        \n
