As we continue to grow, we need the best engineers to join a team responsible for the development of complex compute subsystems and solutions. Soon, you could be using your talents to help us develop the technologies that will enable the very latest compute solutions in today's enterprise and client markets.

What will you be accountable for?

Systems Solution 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 this group are responsible for driving the specification and development of the next generation of compute solution. You will be working in a highly focused group within Arm's Central Engineering Systems Development team, where you will help design our next generation compute solutions using state of the art technologies, methodologies and tools. You will work closely with architects and other design, verification, implementation engineers, modelling, performance analysis, silicon validation, FPGA and Board development engineers. Experienced senior engineers are also expected to support junior members of the team.

• As a creative design engineer with a knowledge of subsystems and SoCs you will be part of a team integrating IP and developing logic for subsystems/solutions
• You will work with the project team to understand, review the SoC solution architecture and develop the design specifications
• Key responsibilities will include writing micro-architecture specifications, developing the RTL, fixing bugs, running various design checks, power constraints generation, supporting RTL/netlist power analysis
• You will work with the verification team to review test plans and help debugging design issues.
• Close collaboration with the performance analysis team to evaluate and improve system performance.
• Expected to contribute to developing and enhancing the design methodologies used by the team.
• You will guide other members of the team as needed to enable the successful completion of project activities.
• As you gain the domain knowledge you will have the growth opportunity to lead technical activities that the team is working on.
• You will balance other opportunities such as working with Project Management on activities, plans, and schedules

What skills, experience and qualification do you need?

• 12+ Yrs of Experience
• Bachelors (BS) or Masters (MS/MSc) in Electronics, Electrical or Computer Engineering - although other degrees will be considered with relevant work experience
• You will need experience of RTL design for complex SoCs and ASIC products
• Your ability to make trade-offs between power, performance and area will be vital to the role
• You possess the knowledge of RTL development using Verilog, System Verilog or VHDL
• Exposure to all stages of design will be crucial: initial concept, specification, implementation, power analysis, power optimisation, testing, documentation and support
• Exposure to producing specifications and documentation describing complex designs
• You will have the ability to work under time-scale pressure and meet bold targets without compromising on quality
• Understanding of the fundamentals of computer architecture and systems
• You will 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?

• Understanding of SoC security aspects

At Arm, we are guided by our core beliefs that reflect our unique culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to defy ordinary and shape extraordinary:

We not I

• Take daily responsibility to make the Global Arm community thrive
• No individual owns the right answer. Brilliance is collective

• 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
