ArmJob Title
Senior SoC / IP Design Engineer
Role Summary
Join the Arm Solution Engineering team to design, integrate and deliver SoC and system IP from specification through front-end validation, physical implementation and silicon demonstrators. The role focuses on technical leadership in SoC/IP design, cross-functional integration, and driving products to silicon.
Experience Level
Senior — the posting does not specify explicit years of experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include technical ownership of SoC/IP design tasks and delivering silicon-capable implementations.
- Lead RTL design and architecture trade-offs for SoC/IP blocks and subsystems.
- Drive front-end validation, verification plan development, and integration testing.
- Collaborate with physical implementation, test, and firmware teams during tape-out and silicon bring-up.
- Develop and maintain prototypes, demonstrators, and design documentation.
- Mentor and review work from junior engineers and contribute to cross-team design reviews.
- Identify and mitigate technical risks to meet delivery and quality targets.
Requirements
Must-have skills and technologies expected for the role; where not stated in the posting these are typical for senior SoC/IP engineers.
- Strong digital design and RTL development experience (SystemVerilog or equivalent).
- Experience with SoC integration, verification methodologies and test planning.
- Proven track record delivering complex IP or SoC to silicon alongside cross-functional teams.
- Familiarity with prototyping, FPGA-based validation or silicon bring-up workflows.
- Good scripting and automation skills (Python, Tcl or similar) for flows and tooling integration.
- Clear technical communication and leadership in multi-disciplinary projects.
- Nice-to-have: experience with UVM, industry EDA tool flows (Synopsys/Cadence/Siemens), and performance/area/power optimization.
