ArmJob Title
Senior Subsystem & SoC Design Engineer
Role Summary
Work on specification, RTL development and integration of subsystems and reference-platform designs within Arm's Front End design team. Deliver RTL and design-intent artifacts, integrate IP, and collaborate with verification and implementation teams to produce SoC subsystems for automotive, mobile and cloud AI markets.
Experience Level
Senior-level. The posting does not specify a required number of years, but the role expects senior experience appropriate for subsystem and SoC design.
Responsibilities
Accountable for specification, RTL delivery, integration and verification support for subsystems and testchips.
- Develop RTL using SystemVerilog/Verilog and produce design-intent deliverables (SDC, UPF).
- Integrate internal and third-party IP into subsystem designs.
- Perform static design checks and support synthesis and CDC/power analysis.
- Write micro-architecture specification sections and other technical documentation.
- Collaborate with verification to review test plans and debug design issues; work with implementation teams to optimise designs.
- Plan work, track progress and report status to ensure timely delivery.
Requirements
Key technical must-haves and desirable skills.
- Must-have: Hands-on SystemVerilog or Verilog RTL design and solid RTL design skills for complex SoC development.
- Experience with static design checks, power and clock-domain crossing techniques, and synthesis flows.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture and systems; practical experience with CPU, GPU, multimedia IP, interconnects, memory controllers or high-performance peripherals.
- Familiarity with UNIX environments and scripting (Python, Perl, shell).
- Ability to produce clear specifications and design documentation.
- Nice-to-have: Exposure to Arm architectures and AMBA standards; C/C++ or assembly experience; participation in large-scale SoC projects; functional-safety experience (ISO 26262 / IEC 61508).
Education Requirements
