The Role
Job Description:
Arm builds sophisticated System IP like System Memory Management Units, Cache-Coherent Interconnects and interrupt controllers. Our partners combine Arm CPUs with these System IP, to build SoC solutions across market segments like mobiles, servers, AI, automotive, IoT, etc.
Our team is responsible for ensuring the accurate functionality of Arm IP. This includes bring-up of operating systems on Arm subsystems with the goal of validating the hardware to ensure high quality IP is shipped to partners, using industry-standard Emulator and FPGA platforms.
Responsibilities:
- You will push Arm IP to their functional limits, by using innovative ways to program the IP within the boundary of its architecture.
- The role involves developing or improving existing Linux drivers and payloads targeting the IP design, and debugging sophisticated hardware and software failures in the IP and the system. The payloads can be a mix of industry-standard and in-house payloads
- 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.
If you have an operating systems background, and have worked on verifying either CPUs or other IP in a system, then you are the right match for this job!
Required Skills and Experience :
- 6-12 years of relevant experience
- Good in logical programming using C or C++, assembly
- Knowledge of operating system kernels and how they exploit the hardware features, preferably Linux
- Hands-on experience in developing Linux device drivers OR Developing userspace payloads for stressing/verifying the features of the Device
- Understanding of CPU or SoC architecture and its verification
- Proficiency in problem solving and debugging
- Proven track record of contributing to project execution and delivery, individually or in a team
- Phenomenal interpersonal and communication skills
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Awareness of Computer architecture features (such as caches, MMU, SMP, coherency)
- Working knowledge of System-IP like IOMMU/SMMU, Interconnects and System Interrupt Controllers (GIC)
- Use of scripting languages like Perl/Python/Shell
- Familiarity with hardware acceleration platforms like Emulation and FPGA
