This position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced and highly motivated verification engineer to join the thriving Arm Systems ISP team!

This is a fast-paced technical role employing the latest hardware design and verification methodologies to develop complex and highly configurable hardware ISP IP.

This role is for the ISP product team.

The ISP group designs image signal processors and similar technology for markets including automotive, drones, teleconferencing and surveillance. Our intellectual property includes RTL, reference drivers, tools and libraries enabling our customers to build on top of our IP to create new and innovative products.

You will specify and develop new hardware verification testbenches for future generation hardware IP. You will improve existing testbenches to increase performance, quality and efficiency. You will also identify areas for improvement in processes and methodologies, then implement those changes to advance our best-practises for hardware verification.

Responsibilities:

  • Reviewing and assessing proposed design changes from a verification complexity point of view
  • Architecting verification IP and full verification environments
  • Investigating and scripting new verification flows and optimising existing ones
  • Analysis of data from simulation runs using machine learning and data science techniques to drive efficient bug discovery and debug
  • Developing methodology and deploying within the group and having full ownership of verification closure and mentoring other members of the team.
  • Close collaboration with other Arm engineering teams leading to high quality IP that works well in a complete system.

Required skills and experience:

  • Experience in working with constrained-random verification including ownership of a suitably complex verification environment.
  • Experience of architecting and implementing functional verification environments for complex IP.
  • Experience developing re-usable and scalable code whilst having good knowledge of SV-UVM.
  • Strong scripting skills – being able to develop scripting to support new and existing flows.
  • Solid software engineering skills including understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.
  • Familiar with the tools and processes for developing testbenches and finishing all aspects of the verification process.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work well as part of a team.
  • Dedicated with a focused approach to problem analysis and solving.
  • Strong experience in planning and estimation.

‘Nice to Have’ Skills and Experience:

  • Team leadership and mentoring experience
  • Multiprocessing microarchitecture experience including knowledge of bus protocols (e.g. AMBA APB/AHB/AXI)
  • Past experience in Formal Verification testbenches is a plus
  • Experience in media, video, ISP, or display projects is a plus
