Arm's hardware is at the centre of the computing and connectivity revolution that continues to transform the way people live and businesses operate. Working as a team and engaging with the world's most famous technology companies, we are driving innovation into all areas that compute is possible to help us build better solutions for the billions of people using our technology worldwide.
As we continue to grow, we need the best engineers to join a team responsible for the development of sophisticated compute subsystems. Soon, you could be using your talents to develop the technologies that will enable the very latest compute solutions in today's markets!
What will you be accountable for?
Systems team mission is to enable our partners by delivering a secure, performant and reliable hardware and software that are easy to use. Design Engineers in the Systems Group are responsible for driving the specification and development of the next-generation of compute systems. Working in a highly focused group within Arm's Central Engineering Systems Development team in the UK, where you will help craft our next generation compute systems using pioneering technologies, methodologies, and tools whilst working closely with architects and other design, verification and implementation engineers, you will also be expected to support less experienced engineers.
As a creative design engineer with a knowledge of subsystems and SoCs you will form part of a team integrating IP and developing logic for subsystems
Working with the project team to understand and review the subsystem architecture, and develop the design specifications
Your key responsibilities will include writing micro-architecture specifications, developing the RTL, fixing bugs and running various design checks
supporting the verification team to review test plans and helping debug design issues.
Work with the performance analysis team to evaluate and improve subsystem performance.
You will also contribute to developing and improving the design methodologies used by the team.
Guiding other members of the team as needed to enable the successful completion of project activities.
You will balance other opportunities such as working with Project Management on activities, plans, and schedules
What skills, experience and qualification do you need?
Bachelors (BS) or Masters (MS) in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering - although other degrees will be considered with meaningful work experience
You will need experience of RTL design for sophisticated ASIC products & SoCs
Your ability to make trade-offs between power, performance will be vital.
You possess the knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog or VHDL
Exposure to all stages of design will be crucial: initial concept, specification, implementation, power analysis, testing, documentation and support
Exposure to producing specifications and documentation describing sophisticated designs
Ability to work under time-scale pressure and meet targets without compromising on quality
Understanding of the fundamentals of computer architecture and systems
Must have practical experience of working on Processor based system designs
Knowledge of shell programming/scripting (e.g. Tcl Perl, Python etc.)
What are the desired behaviours for this role?
At Arm, we are guided by our core beliefs that reflect our outstanding culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to surpass ordinary and shape outstanding:
We not I
Take daily responsibility to make the Global Arm community thrive
No individual owns the right answer. Brilliance is collective
Information is crucial, share it
Realise that we win when we collaborate - and that everyone misses out when we don't (what does collaborate)
Passion for progress
Our differences are our strength. Widen and mix up the pool of people you connect with
Difficult things can take unexpected directions. Stick with it
Make feedback positive and expansive, not negative and narrow
The essence of progress is that it can't stop. Grow with it and own your own progress
Be your brilliant self
Be quirky not egocentric
Recognise the power in saying 'I don't know'
Make trust our default position
Hold strong opinions lightly
With offices around the world, Arm is a diverse organisation of dedicated, innovative and highly talented engineers. By enabling a vibrant, inclusive, meritocratic, and open workplace, where all our people can grow and succeed, we encourage our people to share their outstanding contributions to Arm's success in the global marketplace.
About ARM
Our technology enables the creation of new markets and transformation of industries and society. We craft scalable, energy efficient-processors and related technologies to deliver the intelligence in applications ranging from sensors to servers, including smartphones, tablets, enterprise infrastructure and the Internet of Things!
Our innovative technology is licensed by ARM Partners who have shipped more than 50 billion Systems on Chip (SoCs) containing our intellectual property since the company began in 1990. Together with our Connected Community, we are breaking down barriers to innovation for developers, designers and engineers, ensuring a fast, reliable route to market for leading electronics companies.
Arm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues. We are a diverse organization of dedicated and innovative individuals, and don't discriminate on the basis of any characteristic.
