Senior Software Engineer

Job Overview

Join Arm's Central Engineering Software modelling team to develop software models of system-on-chip (SoC) hardware and intellectual property (IP). Your work will help internal and external users build and validate software for Arm IP-based systems across areas including IoT, client and infrastructure.

You will build virtual platforms that represent hardware components alongside software stacks such as Linux and Android. These platforms support early software development and debugging, including inspection of memory bus transactions.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test and maintain high-speed software models of Arm system-level IP using hardware designs and specifications.
• Work with hardware engineers to understand their IP and represent it accurately in software.
• Build virtual platforms that support early software development.
• Collaborate with software engineers to integrate their software on the platforms and diagnose problems.
• Provide feedback on SoC designs based on your modelling experience.

Required Skills and Experience

• Ability to develop in C and C++.
• Understanding of computer architecture and system-on-chip designs.
• Ability to develop software, including coding, testing and debugging.
• Ability to collaborate with others and communicate effectively in written and spoken English.

Nice-to-Have Skills and Experience

• Experience with programmer-view modelling or instruction-level simulators, such as QEMU, Simics, Gem5 or Virtualizer, or knowledge of Arm IP or architecture.
• Experience developing SoC virtual prototypes using C, C++, SystemC or TLM.
• Understanding of system-level architecture and integration, including components such as system memory management units, cache hierarchies or interrupt controllers.
• Experience developing low-level or bare-metal software, firmware or device drivers.
• Experience collaborating on complex software projects with a large team across multiple sites.

In Return

You will work closely with software, hardware and systems teams across Arm, with opportunities to share ideas and learn from other engineers while developing virtual platforms for early software development.

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.
