Job Overview:
Arm’s IP portfolio expansion from mobile computing into AI, Automotive, Infrastructure, IoT among other market segments resulted in consistent growth beyond the semiconductor industry averages, resulting in career advancement opportunities previously unseen in traditional design houses. With this ever growing complexity, associated with implementing multi-core designs and subsystems in FinFET processes, we are looking for a practiced individual with proven experience for solving sophisticated challenges, including low-power and high-performance implementation, to support our customers in realizing the best Quality-of-Results from our RTL.
In this role, you will support leading semiconductor design houses in implementing advanced Arm cores/subsystems in their nanometer SoC designs. Meeting best-in-class design performance, power, and area requirements. Working with Arm engineering teams using the latest micro-architectural design techniques, the latest EDA tools/flows, as well as the latest foundry process nodes to build reference implementation methodologies and playing a key role in imparting that knowledge to Arm customers. You will evaluate core/system implementation performance vs. power tradeoffs. Benchmark EDA flows. Supplement EDA tool functionality with custom script workarounds, looking at robust design flows in the face of variability. Study floorplan/power-ground/macro-placement/clock-tree/routability tradeoffs for multi-corner/multi-mode timing closure, and devise physical design flows to extract optimum performance from cell and macro libraries.
Responsibilities:
Provide support for all implementation related questions.
- Collaborate with the RTL, implementation and physical library design teams.
- Build App Notes and white-papers.
- Develop and deliver training collateral to our customers.
- Develop, help to promote and deliver physical design support services that help to accelerate customer silicon success.
- Collaborate with EDA vendors to extend the outstanding results for our designs.
- Work with our geographically diverse engineering, field, sales, marketing and support teams to deliver quality support for our customers.
Required Skills and Experience :
- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or other relevant technical fields
- Demonstrable experience with synthesis, floor/power planning, place and route, clock distribution, signal & power integrity, DFM, physical verification, LEC and static timing analysis
- Experience in the entire IC design flow, from RTL through to PnR & STA
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Experience with low power design techniques (power gating, DVFS, etc.)
- Experience with Verilog RTL design
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Perl, Python and TCL
- Processor and interconnect microarchitecture
- DFT and MBIST
- Finfet based cell/macro library usage and implications to SoC design
- Signoff procedures before tape out
In Return:
- Opportunity to collaborate with Arm's meaningful customers, as well as internal engineers!
