Senior Hardware Engineer

Job Overview:

Part of the Debugger and Probes team within the Central Engineering - Software group, we build tools and products with the aim of supporting SoC and OEM vendors with their silicon bring-up, verification and collateral software, all using the latest IP products from Arm and other vendors.

We are seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer to support the development, evolution, and manufacture of the DSTREAM family of high-performance debug and trace probes, as well as related development tools!

Responsibilities:

We build and develop embedded hardware for DSTREAM probes and related JTAG, trace, and boundary-scan products as part of a team delivering debug hardware and software for Arm development tools.

You will be responsible for schematic design, component selection, board bring-up, lab debugging, and technical investigation. The role will involve MCU-based control boards and more complex SoC- and FPGA-based designs, including boards with high pin-count devices, multiple power domains, high-speed interfaces such as DDR, and significant design-for-test and manufacturing requirements.

As a team of hardware, FPGA, and software engineers, we work together to define interfaces, review designs, resolve integration issues, and support prototype build, production test, and delivery into manufacture.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Creating schematic designs for embedded products with a focus on quality, testing and manufacturing, and reviewing others' work critically with clear, constructive feedback.
• Performing board bring-up, hardware debugging, and root-cause analysis in the lab.
• Design for test and manufacture, including support for prototypes, production, manufacturing issues, and component selection analysis.
• Good understanding of board-level hardware interfaces, protocols, and signalling standards, including (but not limited to) UART, I2C, SPI, JTAG, DDR, and LVDS.
• Working effectively in a multi-discipline team.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• PCB layout for embedded products.
• Developing boundary scan tests, and supporting them in a production environment.
• Hands-on experience with Altium Designer and XJTAG.
• Familiarity with Arm-based microcontrollers and SoCs in board design, as well as their boot/debug flows.
• Ability to write or modify simple embedded firmware for bring-up, test, and debug.
• Mixed-signal design experience, for example in power supply design.
• Experience considering component availability, lead times, and prototype/manufacturing logistics as part of hardware development.
• Awareness of, or experience with, signal integrity analysis.
