As a part of Arm's Solutions Engineering group we like to think we are not just crafting sophisticated SoCs, but we are defining future chip design techniques. Not only do we improve the power, performance and system integration of our products, but we also craft the design flows, influence Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and build the knowledge base that makes custom SoC and CPU chip design possible. At Arm, our work goes beyond multiple divisions where we drive improved implementation for Arm and our partners. A key component of this is around the development of comprehensive implementation and analysis methodologies.

Responsibilities:

• Synthesis, DFT , Floorplan , Place and Route , CTS and Optimization of CPU cores, system interconnect and other ARM Designs.
• RTL-GDS closure for Hard Macro
• Analyze design timing, area and power to help improve the quality of ARM Design.
• Analyze DRC/LVS/PERC/ERC using Calibre and perform Layout edit for Physical Verification closure.
• Analyze Timing using primetime and perform Timing ECO for design closure
• Work with implementation and physical IP RTL design teams to drive analysis and optimization of our IP.
• Converting R&D concepts into real implementation solutions.
• Enable our partners to achieve the best possible quality of results

Required Skills and Experience :

• Bachelors or Master’s degree equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or other relevant technical fields.
• 1-2 years of proven experience in ASIC Implementation, Physical design, STA and Timing closure, Structured clock tree, PDN analysis, DFM and Physical verification
• Strong Communication and Problem Solving Skills.
• Experience in crafting and adopting new silicon implementation techniques and methodologies and promote their use with international teams
• Experience working closely in top and block level Synthesis, DFT, Floor planning, Place and Route, CTS, logical and physical optimization, timing closure and power analysis flows.
• Proven programming and scripting skills eg. Tcl, Perl, Python, Make.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Knowledge around Arm based SoCs!
• Experience with a wide range of programming, scripting & data presentation languages Eg. Tcl, sh, csh, make, R, C, C++, Java, JS, HTML, Perl, Python, Ruby.
• Experience with low power design techniques (power gating, voltage/frequency scaling)
• Experience with Verilog RTL design.
• Experience with ATPG tools/and or production testing.

In Return:

At Arm, we are guided by our core beliefs that reflect our creative culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to surpass ordinary and shape extraordinary.

Use of AI in Your Application

At Arm, we embrace the benefits AI can bring, including in recruitment. You may use AI to support your preparation, such as improving the clarity of written responses, practicing interview questions, or learning more about our industry. However, your application and interview responses must reflect your own thinking, experience, and abilities. We want to understand your authentic perspective, creativity, and approach to problem solving. As such, you may not use AI to complete assigned tasks as part of any assessments. If you plan to use AI-supported or assistive technologies as part of a reasonable adjustment, please contact [email protected] so we can support you.

Hybrid Working

Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution.
