Staff Verification Engineer - Media IP

Job Title

Staff Verification Engineer - Media IP

Role Summary

Join the Arm Systems Media IP team to develop and own verification for Image Signal Processors (ISPs), display processors, and video codecs used in Arm compute subsystems. The role focuses on specifying and developing hardware verification testbenches, improving verification performance and quality, and advancing verification processes and methodologies.

Experience Level

Senior level. (No specific years-of-experience requirement stated.)

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include ownership and architecture of verification environments, improving verification efficiency, and mentoring engineers.

• Take verification ownership of unit-level or multi-unit hierarchies or act as verification lead for an overall IP (ISP, Display, Video).
• Architect verification IP and full verification environments.
• Review and assess proposed design changes for verification complexity.
• Analyze simulation data (including applying machine learning/data-science techniques) to improve bug discovery and debug efficiency.
• Identify and implement cross-team process and methodology improvements to advance verification efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with other engineering teams to ensure high-quality IP integration in systems.
• Mentor and support other team members.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required for the role.

• Proven experience with constrained-random verification and ownership of a complex verification environment and testbench development.
• In-depth knowledge of SystemVerilog UVM and developing reusable, scalable verification code.
• Strong scripting skills to develop and support verification flows.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals, including object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.
• Familiarity with verification tools and processes to complete verification cycles.
• Prior technical and/or team leadership experience (required for more senior positions).

Nice-to-have:

• Team leadership and mentoring experience.
• Multiprocessing microarchitecture experience and knowledge of bus protocols (AMBA APB/AHB/AXI).
• Experience with Formal Verification testbenches.
• Experience in video codec, ISP, or display projects and advanced image-processing algorithms (e.g. local tone mapping, noise reduction, motion estimation, transform coding).
• Experience with Functional Safety development for Automotive (ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
• Experience with Continuous Integration flows.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
