Job description

Responsibilities

You’ll be part of a team that builds complete reference systems around Arm IPs and use it for and Arm IP stress verification, giving you exposure far beyond traditional DV roles.

• Integrate Arm CPU and system IPs into full reference platforms
• Bring up systems across simulation and emulation
• Debug real system issues spanning hardware + low-level software
• Develop system-level tests (C/C++/Assembly driven)
• Work closely with design, architecture, and global teams
• Contribute to improving verification flows, tools, and efficiency

Experience : 2-8 years

Why This Role Stands Out

• Early System-level exposure – go beyond UVM/testbench work
• Strong learning curve – CPU architecture, AMBA, memory systems
• High ownership – own IP integration, features, debug, and bring-up
• Global collaboration – work with teams across UK, US, and Europe
• Real impact – your work directly influences quality of Arm IPs.

Required Skills And Experience

• 2–8 years of experience in SoC/IP development or verification
• Solid understanding of verification fundamentals & debug
• Experience with C/C++ or Assembly-based testing
• Exposure to pre-silicon environments (simulation/emulation)
• Basic understanding of CPU or SoC architecture

Good to Have

• Knowledge of Arm architecture / AMBA protocols
• Experience in embedded software or firmware bring-up
• Exposure to SoC integration or system-level validation
• Scripting in Python/Perl
• Familiarity with Verilog/SystemVerilog

Who You’ll Fit In Best As

• You enjoy debugging and figuring out system integration problems
• You want to work close to real hardware and full systems
• You’re looking to move beyond pure DV into system understanding
• You take ownership and can drive tasks end-to-end
