Job description

Job Overview

Are you an RTL engineer eager to build expertise across multiple IP products? Do you want to work globally with internal teams to develop systems optimized for performance and power? If so, we want to speak with you! We're seeking a hard‑working, creative, and motivated SoC engineer to join the team developing sophisticated processing systems used in IoT, Automotive, and Infrastructure computing.

Responsibilities

As a creative design engineer with knowledge of subsystems and SoCs you will be part of a team integrating IPs and developing logic for subsystems.

You will need to understand and review the subsystem architecture, develop the microarchitecture specifications, review verification test plans, help debug and fix issues, and work with the performance analysis team to evaluate and improve system performance.

Your key responsibilities will include understanding incoming IPs, their functionality, interfaces and interworking with various subsystem and SoC components, developing subsystem microarchitecture specifications and RTL, proposing refinements to IP teams based on system‑level integration and usage, running design checks and fixing bugs.

You will identify areas of improvement and enhance the design methodologies used by the team and by the wider organization. You will guide and support other members of the team as needed to enable the successful completion of project activities while balancing other tasks including working with Project Management on drawing‑up and managing plans and schedules.

Required Skills and Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience in place of either degree.
• Experience in digital hardware design and Verilog HDL
• Detailed understanding of current methods and techniques for complex SoC development
• Experience in static design checks, including CDC, RDC, X‑prop, lint
• Experience creating design specifications
• Proficiency in Perl, Python or other scripting languages
• Strong delivery record of sophisticated RTL subsystems in reasonable timescales
• Ability to navigate and make high‑level PPA trade‑offs and articulate the rationale for those choices
• Experience with synthesis and timing analysis and power management techniques
• Good communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience with ARM‑based designs and/or ARM System Architectures
• Knowledge of memory system interconnect protocols (e.g. AMBA ACE‑Lite or AXI)
• Familiarity with one or more of processor subsystems, NoCs, security subsystems, PCIe subsystems, system power management flows
• Experience with SystemVerilog and verification methodologies

Additional Information

Please note that no relocation package is available for this role. If skilled worker sponsorship is required, Arm will meet costs associated with sponsorship for the employer only. All fees associated with the individual’s application e.g. visa application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, will be the responsibility of the successful candidate.
