The Role
Job Description:
In addition to CPUs, Arm builds high performance system IP like cache-coherent interconnects, interrupt controllers, and memory management units. Our partners combine Arm CPUs with these system IP, to build sub-system solutions across pioneering market segments like mobiles, servers, AI, automotive, IoT, etc.
Our team is responsible for verifying CPUs and system IP put together as sub-systems at pre-silicon stage – using industry-standard Emulator and FPGA platforms from major EDA vendors.
Responsibilities:
- As part of our team, you will push Arm CPUs & system IP to their functional limits – targeting the IP's internal architecture and how it interacts with the rest of the system.
- The role involves developing and running soak tests based on Arm architecture and the IP design, and debugging sophisticated hardware and software failures in the CPU or the IP and the system around it using Emulator and FPGA platforms.
- You will work with cross-site design teams, discuss requirements, build test plans, develop tests targeting corner-cases, and collaborate to achieve verification goals.
- There will be opportunities to make a difference by actively contributing to Arm verification methodologies which are improved continuously to match design advancements.
- Mentoring junior engineers in the team is part of the role – with potential people management responsibilities for relevant candidates.
Required Skills and Experience :
- 4 -7 Years of experience
- Good Knowledge and understanding of Embedded SW.
- Knowledge of SOC and ARMv8 architecture
- C programming and assembly language
- Experience working with ARM boot code for arm processors, device tree, bootloader, Linux kernel driver porting.
- Board bring -up/bring up of hardware and software solutions.
- Understanding of SW build toolchains, Make files, build root
- Scripting language such as Python, shell scripting etc.
- Knowledge of Linux kernel internals, interrupt handling/ virtual memory/MMU
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Familiarity with hardware acceleration platforms like Emulation and FPGA
- Awareness of CPU architecture features (such as caches, MMU, SMP, coherency, CPU pipelines)
- General understanding of Arm-based systems and protocols like AHB, AXI, ACE, or CHI
- Use of scripting languages like Perl/Python/Shell
- Knowledge of advance verification techniques like assertions, property checking, etc
