SoC Design Engineer

About the Role

Our Systems Development team designs subsystems for various application segments, using the latest IP products from Arm and other vendors. We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic SoC Design Engineer to join the team and help develop these systems. As a SoC Design Engineer you will contribute to the specification, design and verification of various compute subsystems.

You will join a small team of dedicated engineers in Austin, as well as collaborate with multiple other groups inside of Arm to design our subsystem products. Would you love a wider exposure across multiple IP products? Do you want an opportunity to work globally with various internal teams  to deliver systems optimized for performance and power?

What will I be accountable for

• 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.
• You will work 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.
• You will work with the verification team to review test plans, and help debug design issues.
• You will work with the performance analysis team to evaluate and improve subsystem performance.
• You will also contribute to developing and enhancing the design methodologies used by the team.
• You will guide and support 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 qualifications do I need?

In addition to bringing your accomplishment of either a Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering or a similar related field and 5-10 years experience working in design of complex compute subsystems or SoCs, you will need:

• Strong knowledge of digital hardware design and Verilog HDL.
• A thorough understanding and experience of the current design techniques for complex SoC development.
• Experience creating design specifications
• Good knowledge of logic development using Verilog
• Experience with Perl, Python or other scripting language

Some other experience that can help you succeed in this role:

• Experience with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures
• Experience with SystemVerilog and verification methodologies – UVM/OVM/e
• Experience leading small teams or projects
• Experience or knowledge in the following areas
• Synthesis and timing analysis
• Static design checks, including CDC, RDC, X-Propagation, Linting
• Power management techniques
• PCIe subsystems for large SoCs and server applications

What are the desired behaviors for this role?

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

We not I

• Take daily responsibility to make the Global Arm community thrive
• No individual is responsible for the right answer. Brilliance is collective!
• Information is crucial, share it
• Realize that we win when we collaborate — and that everyone misses out when we don’t

Passion for progress

• Our differences are our strength. Widen and mix up your network of connections
• 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 lead your own progress

Be your brilliant self

• Be quirky not egocentric
• Recognize the power in saying ‘I don’t know’
