Your key responsibilities will include developing the RTL and design intent deliverables (SDC, UPF), integrating IPs, running various design checks and writing part of micro-architecture specification. Additionally, you will work with the verification team to review test plans and help debug design issues and the implementation team to optimise those designs. You will plan your work, provide tracking and report status in order to ensure high-quality and timely delivery.

Required skills and experience:

Hands-on working knowledge of System Verilog or Verilog HDL for RTL design

Solid understanding of RTL design for complex SoC development

Experience in the following areas: static design checks, power and clock domain crossing, synthesis

Strong understanding of computer architecture and systems fundamentals, with hands-on experience in complex system design— involving CPU, GPU, multimedia IP (camera, display, video), interconnects, memory controllers, and high-performance peripherals.

Knowledge of UNIX environment and scripting eg Python, Perl or UNIX shell scripting

Ability to write specifications and documentation describing complex designs

'Nice to Have' Skills and Experience:

About Arm

Arm designs the processor architecture most of the world's phones and a growing share of its servers run on, and licenses it rather than manufacturing chips itself. Its European engineering is heavily Cambridge — the head office and much the largest cluster here — with smaller teams in Sophia Antipolis, Budapest and Manchester, and the work skews to systems software, ML and embedded rather than application development. Roughly two thirds of its openings are outside Europe, so filter by country before assuming a role is local.
