Implementation Engineer- Systems

About the Role

As an Implementation Engineer in Arm’s systems group we like to think we are not just crafting sophisticated SoCs, but we are defining future chip design techniques. Not only do we improve the power, performance and system integration of our products, but we also craft the design flows, influence Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and build the knowledge base that makes high performance chip design possible

An as Implementation Engineer at Arm, our work goes beyond multiple divisions where we drive improved implementation for Arm and our partners. A key component of this is around the development of comprehensive implementation and analysis methodologies.

Accountabilities

• Physical design and implementation of CPU cores, system interconnect and other ARM IP
• Investigate the tradeoffs involved in implementation
• Analyze design timing and power to help improve the quality of ARM IP
• Develop and deploy new methodologies to improve implementation efficiency and results
• Support and develop detailed implementation analysis and data-mining methodologies.
• Work with implementation and physical IP RTL design teams to drive analysis and optimization of our IP.
• Converting R&D concepts into real implementation solutions.
• Enable our partners to achieve the best possible quality of results.

What skills, experience, and qualifications do I need?

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or other meaningful technical fields.
• 5+ years…
• The ability to demonstrate that you can express new ideas and communicate them effectively.
• Possess a high level of dedicated, initiative and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in crafting and embracing new silicon implementation techniques and methodologies and promote their use with international teams
• Previous experience in and knowledge of the entire IC design flow, from RTL through to GDS2.
• Experience working closely in top and block level floor planning, Place and Route, CTS, logical and physical optimization, timing closure and power analysis flows.
• Proven programming and scripting skills eg. Tcl, Perl, R, Make, sh.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Knowledge around Arm based SoCs!
• Experience with programming, scripting & data presentation languages
• Experience with low power design techniques (power gating, voltage/frequency scaling)
• Experience with Verilog RTL design.
• Understanding and working experience in static and dynamic IR-drop analysis.
• Experience of power grid design and analysis.
• Experience of physical verification (LVS and DRC) flows.
