Job Title

Design Engineering Jobs — Sophia Antipolis (Arm)

Role Summary

This is a listing of design engineering roles based at Arm's Sophia Antipolis site. Positions cover digital/SoC design, verification, and system-architecture work within Arm's hardware and design engineering teams.

Roles contribute to the development of processor and IP blocks, participate in design and verification flows, and collaborate across architecture, software, and physical implementation teams to deliver silicon-quality IP.

Experience Level

Mid-level / Experienced Professional. Roles range from mid-career to senior (including senior and principal positions); typical guidance is approximately 3+ years experience for mid-level roles, more for senior/principal roles.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities across these design engineering positions include:

• Develop RTL for digital blocks and SoC subsystems; write and review high-quality SystemVerilog/Verilog code.
• Plan and execute functional verification using industry-standard methodologies and testbenches.
• Collaborate with architects, software engineers, and physical-design teams to meet performance, power, and area targets.
• Perform design reviews, debug issues across simulation/emulation/FPGA/prototyping flows, and close timing and integration issues.
• Use EDA tools and scripts to support synthesis, formal checks, linting, and regression automation.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team processes and documentation.

Requirements

Key qualifications and skills employers typically expect for these roles.

• Must-have: Practical experience in digital IC/SoC design or verification; proficiency with RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog) and common verification techniques.
• Must-have: Experience with verification methodologies, testbench development, and regression automation; familiarity with EDA tool flows.
• Must-have: Scripting skills for automation (Python, Tcl, Perl, or similar) and strong debugging/problem-solving ability.
• Must-have: Effective communication and collaboration skills within cross-functional engineering teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with UVM, formal verification, low-power design techniques, physical-design constraints, and familiarity with Arm architectures or IP.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
