The Role
About this role:
If you have a smartphone, digital camera, digital TV, gaming console or a smart meter at home, you’ve already used an ARM Powered product. Over 900 ARM Powered chips are produced every second and over 200 billion ARM technology-based chips have been shipped to date, making us the world’s leading Intellectual Property (IP) semiconductor supplier.
Our Verification IP (VIP) team members build Software tools and environments used for the verification of our hardware IP products. The VIP team has responsibility for supplying reliable, accurate, consistent and documented VIP to design teams in offices around the world. We ensure compatibility between remotely designed components by focussing on the correctness of the interfaces between them.
What will I be doing?
ARM is seeking accomplished software engineers capable of migrating their experience of applying software design principles to creating our verification solutions. In particular, we are seeking individuals who can bring experience of rigorous software development methodologies to the team to enable us to continue to improve our products.
What will I be accountable for?
Our verification IP engineers have responsibility for the architecting, authoring and testing of our suite of VIP. We work closely with the ARM architects in the definition of new interface protocols, providing input on the verifiability of various proposals, by providing a prototyping and modelling environment for system level communication. The VIP team has responsibility for supplying reliable, accurate, consistent and documented VIP to design teams in offices around the world. This means that we have an international internal customer base requiring support and improvements. The verification IP team interacts with various product teams within ARM and gathers valuable inputs and requirements from them. These directly foster into the architecture, design and implementation of robust VIP tools that can be used in many different configurations.
