Our intellectual property encompasses RTL, reference drivers, tools, and libraries, enabling our customers to build upon our work to create innovative products.

This is a great opportunity to specify and develop new hardware verification testbenches for future generation hardware IP. You will improve existing testbenches to increase performance, quality and efficiency. You will also identify areas for improvement in processes and methodologies, then implement those changes to advance our best-practices for hardware verification.

Responsibilities

• Verification ownership of unit level or multi-unit hierarchy or alternatively verification lead of an overall IP (ISP, Display, Video).
• Architecting verification IP and full verification environments.
• Reviewing and assessing proposed design changes from a verification complexity point of view.
• Analysis of data from simulation runs using machine learning and data science techniques to drive efficient bug discovery and debug.
• Identify cross Media IP process or methodology improvement opportunities, implementing changes to advance hardware verification efficiency.
• Close collaboration with other Arm engineering teams leading to high quality IP that works well in a complete system.
• Mentor & support other members of the team.

Required Skills and Experience

• Experience in working with constrained-random verification including ownership of a suitably complex verification environment and creating testbenches.
• Experience developing reusable and scalable code whilst having in-depth knowledge of SV-UVM.
• Strong scripting skills – being able to develop scripts to support new and existing flows.
• Solid software engineering skills including understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.
• Familiar with the tools and processes for developing testbenches and finishing all aspects of the verification process.
• Prior technical and/or team leadership skills required for more senior positions.

Nice To Have Skills and Experience

• Team leadership and mentoring experience
• Multiprocessing microarchitecture experience including knowledge of bus protocols (e.g. AMBA APB/AHB/AXI)
• Past experience in Formal Verification testbenches
• Experience in video codec, ISP, or display projects, including knowledge of advanced image processing algorithms, such as local tone mapping, noise reduction, motion estimation, transform coding, etc
• Experience of Functional Safety product development for the Automotive market (applying standards such as ISO 26262 and/or IEC 61508)
• Experience with Continuous Integration flows

In Return

You will get to utilise your engineering skills to build support for the technologies and influence millions of devices for years to come. You will be able to drive and bring your ideas to a wider audience, while building your technical leadership and influencing skills.
