Graduate Hardware Designer - Solutions Engineering

Job Title

Graduate Hardware Designer - Solutions Engineering

Role Summary

The Graduate Hardware Designer will design, develop and verify system-on-chip (SoC) components using Arm IP. The role involves writing RTL, running simulations, debugging hardware issues, and working with cross-functional and global teams to integrate and validate IP in target platforms.

This position sits within a Solutions Engineering / Design Engineering team focused on enabling customers and internal teams to deliver next-generation hardware solutions.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Graduate). No specific years of professional experience specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Write and maintain RTL (design and implementation) for digital blocks and subsystems.
• Develop and execute verification plans, run simulations, and debug functional issues.
• Integrate and validate Arm IP within SoC environments and reference platforms.
• Collaborate with system architects, verification engineers, and software teams across locations.
• Prepare technical documentation, design reviews, and present results to internal stakeholders.
• Participate in FPGA prototyping, bring-up activities and support silicon validation as required.

Requirements

Minimum technical requirements and skills:

• Practical experience or academic exposure to digital design and RTL (e.g., Verilog/SystemVerilog).
• Understanding of SoC building blocks, digital timing, and verification concepts.
• Experience with simulation and debug workflows; ability to interpret waveforms and debug logs.
• Basic scripting skills for automation (Python, Tcl or similar).
• Good verbal and written communication skills for collaboration with global teams.

Preferred (nice-to-have):

• Familiarity with Arm IP and ecosystem.
• Experience with UVM-based verification, FPGA prototyping, or synthesis and timing closure flows.

Education Requirements
