Verification Engineer

About the role

We are searching for a passionate and experienced Verification Engineer to join the Architecture and Technology team at the Arm Austin Design Center. As an engineer on the Verification Enablement team, you will collaborate with senior members of processor design verification teams within and outside of Arm to provide tools to verify next-generation microprocessors. You will work alongside RIS tool developers to define, develop, and improve processor verification infrastructure and methods to support the latest innovations in CPU architecture and microarchitecture.

This position requires a solid understanding of computer architecture and organization, including common microarchitectural structures and optimization techniques, memory hierarchy, virtualization, and architecture-level security concepts. Qualified candidates looking for an environment in which to make a meaningful contribution, collaborate with a dedicated and creative team, and develop innovative top-level verification technologies to ensure the highest quality products are encouraged to apply.

If you are a design verification engineer who would like to step back and look at verification strategies more globally, this job may be for you.
