ArmJob Title
Austin Design Jobs (Senior Design Engineers)
Role Summary
Multiple senior-level ASIC/SoC and standard-cell design positions on Arm's Austin design teams. Roles focus on SoC I/O subsystem design (PCIe, DDR), RTL and standard-cell circuit design, and collaboration with verification, physical design, and product teams.
Positions are based in Austin, TX; some listings indicate hybrid working arrangements but the roles are primarily office-based.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 7+ years of relevant industry experience (examples on the listing specify 7+ and 8+ years).
Responsibilities
Typical responsibilities across these openings include:
- Design and implement SoC I/O subsystems (e.g., PCIe, DDR) and related RTL modules.
- Develop and optimize standard-cell circuits for submicron technologies.
- Collaborate with verification, physical design, and architecture teams to ensure correct, manufacturable designs.
- Perform design reviews, timing and power analysis, and support tape-out activities.
- Create and maintain design documentation and design-for-test features.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team best practices.
Requirements
Key qualifications expected for these roles.
- Must-have: 7+ years in ASIC/SoC or standard-cell design; hands-on experience with RTL (Verilog/VHDL) and SoC interfaces such as PCIe and DDR; practical experience in submicron standard-cell or custom cell design.
- Must-have: Proven ability to work with cross-functional teams (verification, physical design, architecture) and to deliver to tape-out schedules.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with EDA tools for synthesis, STA, layout; familiarity with PDKs, characterization, and power/area optimization.
- Nice-to-have: Scripting skills (Python, Perl, Tcl) for automation and tool integration.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
