This will facilitate us to build better solutions for the billions of people using our technology worldwide based on Arm.
As we continue to grow, we need the best engineers to join a team responsible for the development of sophisticated interconnect IP. Your talents would be used to develop the technologies that will enable the latest compute solutions in today's Enterprise, Client and Auto markets.
Job Overview
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 and state of the art for hardware verification.
Responsibilities
Reviewing and assessing proposed design changes from a verification complexity point of view Develop and own verification plans for IP blocks based on architecture and design specifications. Define testbenches, coverage goals, and verification environments using industry-standard methodologies Investigating and scripting new verification flows and optimising existing ones Developing methodology and deploying within the group and having full ownership of verification closure. Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and software teams to define verification scope and goals. Close collaboration with other Arm engineering teams leading to high quality IP that works well in a complete system.
