Senior Modelling Engineer

Are you an established software engineer with a strong background and understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies and architectures?

The Arm Open Source Software (OSS) group enables partners to build software on Arm IP-based systems. We develop and contribute to open source projects, providing reference implementations and optimizations to key software system components, and also validated software stacks for Arm IP-based reference platforms used in intelligent devices.

The Platform Modelling team within OSS is seeking modelling engineers to build highly efficient software models representing the functional aspects of System-on-Chip platforms that include many of Arm’s latest technologies, a base on which the rest of the OSS group builds their software stacks. To influence the future of energy-efficient devices at a time of transformation in our industry, this is the place to be.

Accountabilities:

As part of the Platform Modelling team you will take hardware designs and specifications and build functional representations of an entire hardware platforms System and individual hardware components.

• Develop, test and maintain high-speed models for Arm’s system level IP.
• Work with hardware engineers across Arm to understand their IP and model it accurately.
• Build Virtual Platforms that can be used for early software development.
• Collaborate with OSS engineers to help them integrate their software on your platform and to diagnose problems.
• Produce and implement development plans in conjunction with project management and engineering peers across Arm.

Education & Qualifications:

Under graduate degree or Post graduate university degree, Masters or PhD (or equivalent), specifically in Electronics or Computer Science, with an excellent academic record.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• You will possess and exhibit knowledge of a leading RISC based computer Architecture alongside experience of CPU architecture and familiarity with one or more CPU instruction sets
• We require 3-8 Years experience with Programmer View modelling, knowledge of Arm IP or any platform system architecture
• We seek individuals with strong C/C++ skills combined with a detailed understanding of the internals of computers and SoCs
• We expect you are focused and self-motivated with the ability to work independently and in a distributed team; showing a willingness to be flexible and accept new challenges
• We expect a professional, enthusiastic and flexible approach to work with a flair for creative lateral thinking and problem solving with a commitment to extend the breadth and depth of your knowledge
