Design Verification Engineer
Job Description
The Architecture and Technology Group (ATG) at Arm develops technologies that shape Arm’s future architecture roadmap. As new architecture specifications evolve, early RTL prototypes running on FPGA/emulation platforms—along with updated OS and firmware stacks—are critical for evaluating architectural features for performance and functionality.
Role Overview
The Architecture and Technology Group (ATG) is seeking a talented Design Verification Engineer to join the RTL prototyping team. In this role, you will verify RTL prototypes implementing upcoming features in the ARM architecture, ensuring both new functionality and existing features meet architectural requirements. Features under test may span any part of the ARM architecture, so adaptability and the ability to work across multiple functional units are essential. A strong will to learn, coupled with a growth mindset to refine and adapt verification strategies, is key to success in this role.
Do you want to shape the future of the Arm compute technologies that will enable the next revolution in computing? Here is an opportunity to contribute and learn immensely while at it.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with the RTL prototyping team in different Geography, to understand microarchitecture details
- Develop new verification environments and enhance existing verification environments, including stimulus generators, and checkers
- Verify new ARM architecture features function as specified and do not impact existing functionality
- Execute verification strategies in partnership with other verification engineers
- Contribute to continuous improvement in verification methodology based on learnings
Required skills and qualifications
- Good university Degree in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. Other Science graduates would be considered if they have relevant experience.
- 1-3 years of proven experience in an IP/SOC product development environment
- Strong understanding of Computer Architecture concepts, including out-of-order CPU execution, caches, memory etc. ARM A-profile architecture experience is a plus.
- Strong communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams to accomplish tasks
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Desire and flexibility to learn a variety of verification methodologies, RTL designs under test, and architecture features
