Job Overview:
The modelling team within the Arm Central Engineering Software division enables internal and external customers to build and validate software on Arm IP-based systems for various domains (e.g., IoT, Client, Infrastructure) before silicon is available. We are seeking modelling engineers to build highly efficient software models representing the functional aspects of specific Arm hardware components. These individual software models play a key role in constructing a full system model or virtual platform environment that emulates hardware components alongside sophisticated software stacks (e.g., Linux, Android) and enable early software development for internal and external users, faster execution, and many debugging tasks such as inspecting memory bus transactions.
Note that this is a hybrid position, meaning that the candidate must be willing to relocate and be on-site for a certain number of days of the week.
Responsibilities:
Members of the modelling team take hardware designs and specifications to build functional representations in software.
- Develop, test, and maintain high-speed models for Arm’s IP (specifically, the Generic Interrupt Controller[GIC]).
- Interact with architects and hardware engineers across Arm to understand the IP and model it accurately.
- Learn about some of the cutting edge designs thru inter-team discussions and specification documents.
- Build specific IP to be integrated into system models that can be used for early software development.
- Give feedback on hardware architectural designs based on experience you’ll develop on the modelling team.
Required Skills and Experience :
- Understanding and ability to develop in modern C++.
- Good understanding of the internals of computers, computer architecture, and SoCs.
- Proficiency in developing software, including coding, testing, and debugging.
- Strong interpersonal skills and excellent written and spoken English
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Experience with programmer view modelling or instruction-level simulators (e.g., QEMU, Simics, Gem5, Virtualizer), knowledge of Arm IP, or Arm architecture.
- Experience in developing IP/SoC virtual prototypes using C/C++/SystemC with an understanding of system-level architecture and concepts (e.g., SMMU, Virtualization, caching).
- We value experience working on complex software projects in collaboration with a large multi-site team.
In Return:
Come be a part of our dynamic team of software engineers developing models at our Arm office in Cambridge, UK! In return at Arm, you will enjoy working in a highly stimulating environment. Our teams work closely together with other software, hardware, test, and system teams across the company. This is an excellent opportunity to learn, grow, and have fun with the support of our talented and expert engineers and gain experience developing, integrating, and testing simulation models! You will have a chance to share ideas and learn new skills from some of the best engineers in the world.
