Do you want to shape the future of chip design? In the Solutions Engineering team at Arm, we're looking for an experienced power intent engineer to join our team in a multi-faceted and diverse role!

In this role, working within the implementation team, you'll be helping to optimize the power and cohesiveness of Arm's solutions, while also evolving our next generation of flows. You'll wield influence over the development of EDA tools and contribute to building pioneering development and production platforms to showcase Arm IP in silicon.

Within the team, we work with multiple divisions across Arm to steer product direction, define high quality standards and help drive partner success. We use our keen analytical skills and effective communication to provide solutions to a wide range of problems in the physical design space.

The successful applicant will play a key role in ensuring optimal performance and power efficiency for sophisticated semiconductor designs!

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and verify power intent for system level designs and SoCs
  • Deliver accurate results across a range of technology nodes to demonstrate the best of our designs
  • Collaborate with our chip design partners to support their physical implementation success
  • Develop and deploy new methodologies to improve implementation efficiency and results
  • Convert ground-breaking R&D concepts into real solutions

Required skills and experience:

  • Strong understanding of power management techniques and low-power design methodologies
  • Proficiency in writing and verifying UPF (Unified Power Format) to work with industry-standard EDA tools (e.g. Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)
  • Experience with low power design techniques, such as clock and power gating, voltage/frequency scaling, retention
  • The ability to analyse problems, reason logically about solutions and chart the appropriate course to take
  • Experience in architecting and embracing new silicon implementation techniques and methodologies
  • Be able to dream big, explore novel concepts and communicate them clearly
  • Algorithmic thinking, with well-tested programming ability in Tcl, Make and Linux shell

'Nice to have' skills & experience

  • Knowledge of microprocessor architecture, Arm IP and Arm-based SoCs
  • Past experience with programming languages for data processing and presentation - along the lines of Python, R, Go, MatLab
  • Experience with RTL design in an HDL such as Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL
  • A STEM degree in a relevant field, such as electronics engineering or computer science

In Return

You will get to utilise your engineering skills to underpin the power efficiency of many designs, alongside mentoring colleagues to gain a deeper understanding. There will be opportunity to bring your ideas to a wide group of our leading authorities, build your technical leadership and influencing skills and work towards becoming an established and recognised authority within the existing team.
