Responsibilities:

Design engineers in the GPU Group are responsible for the development of next-generation GPU IP for graphics and compute. They are required to have in-depth understanding across all the elements that contribute to the products’ successful delivery, including: low-power design techniques, awareness of the impact of design decisions on system performance, ability to produce area-efficient designs, and the verification techniques that are employed to ensure high-quality, robust designs.

We are looking for dedicated, hard-working engineers who are capable of owning parts of GPU micro-architecture, contributing to all phases of the design flow:

  • The definition and implementation of hardware designs
  • Technically supporting other specialists
  • Writing and reviewing design and verification documentation
  • Planning and tracking design tasks to meet the targets at the planned time

Required Skills and Experience :

  • Hands-on experience using System Verilog, Verilog, or VHDL HDL for design
  • Experience in complex designs that achieve performance, area, frequency, and power targets
  • Ability to make judgements on functionality, performance, and physical implementation trade-offs
  • Experience in producing specifications and documentation describing sophisticated designs
  • Ability to own all stages of a project from start to completion: concept, specification, implementation, testing, support

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

  • Practical experience of working on GPU/microprocessor designs
  • Knowledge of 3d Graphics - OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX
  • Working knowledge of SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA)
  • Knowledge of scripting, e.g., Python, Perl or UNIX shell scripting

In Return:

  • You will gain the benefit of working with fellow Engineers with expertise in a wide array of technologies and practices.
  • We operate a hybrid working policy, which gives you the option to split your time between working from home and working from our office in Cambridge.
  • With offices around the world, Arm is a diverse organisation of dedicated, innovative and highly proficient engineers from whom you can continuously learn.
