Staff Verification Engineer

Come break new ground in design verification. This is a rare opportunity to join the Chandler-based CPU design verification team, which is part of Arm's global CPU group, as an experienced Design Verification Engineer in our world class core verification team. Our diverse engineering-centric group defines, designs, and validates Arm processor IP - the brains in billions of diverse electronic devices.

Are you passionate about design verification - particularly unit-level verification of core micro architecture? If so, we would love to talk with you! In this role you will be able to push through the boundaries of your technical knowledge relating to ground breaking Arm Cortex-A processors.

Job Overview:

As an expert on our diverse team of verification engineers, you take on the latest Cortex-A CPU microarchitecture design verification. You'll be a part of a growing organization with a validated business model and a strong plan for continued future growth. Your team uses the latest tools and methodologies with an eye for innovation and creative problem solving.

Responsibilities:

Our team owns the design verification for one or more functional blocks, and we are responsible for the quality of delivery throughout all related engineering project phases. Including:

• Develop SystemVerilog UVM and/or formal verification environment and tests for the block-level, functional verification of units
• Build and maintain detailed verification plans
• Generate and run test cases on logic simulation models
• Debug functional errors in the RTL model, using simulation tools, debug tools with an in-depth understanding of the architecture and RTL design
• Define and implement functional and statistical coverage, and improve the testbench to ensure coverage closure

Required Skills & Experience :

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering, with a GPA of 3.0 or higher with a minimum of 5 years of experience in pre-silicon verification
• CPU microarchitecture experience including knowledge of the front end pipeline - fetch, decode, issue, implement and commit units
• Previous experience in verifying such units using simulation and/or formal verification methods
• Proven software engineering skills including understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms
• Experience with functional coverage driven verification methods

“Nice To Have” Skills & Experience :

• Proven CPU core microarchitecture experience, with a knowledge of fetch engine, branch predictions, out-of-order execution, register renaming, reservation stations, or processor pipelines
• A passion for continuing to grow your expertise in CPU memory system microarchitecture including both familiarity with and a curiosity about high-performance caches, out-of-order execution and result return, cache coherence, virtual memory and address translation
• A deep understanding of SystemVerilog and UVM, and you know how they are used to build flexible and reusable testbenches
• You love advanced software engineering such as design patterns, profiling, unit testing, and programming in multiple languages
• You strive to achieve winning solutions and to build positive relationships which are built upon mutual trust, open communication and sharing of information and success
• A drive for continuous improvement through spotting opportunities and seeking the views of others
• You listen to different perspectives, evaluate, persuade and carefully craft your work to deliver impactful results
