SoC Verification Engineer

About the Role

Our Systems Development team designs subsystems for various application segments, using the latest IP products from Arm and other vendors. We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic SoC Verification Engineer to join the team and help develop these systems.

As a SoC Verification Engineer you will contribute to the specification, design and verification of various compute subsystems. You will join a small team of hardworking engineers in Austin, as well as collaborate with multiple other groups inside of Arm to verify the functionality of our subsystem products.

Would you love a wider exposure across multiple IP products? Do you want an opportunity to work globally with various internal teams to deliver systems optimized for performance and power?

What will I be accountable for

• As a creative verification engineer with a knowledge of subsystems and SoCs you will be part of a team tasked with verifying functional correctness of compute subsystems.
• You will work with the project team to understand and review the subsystem architecture and design specifications, and to build a functional verification strategy.
• Your key responsibilities will include crafting test plans, developing SystemVerilog/Verilog testbenches and tests, and debugging of test failures and issues.
• You will also contribute to developing and improving the verification methodologies used by the team.
• You’ll work closely with other teams on the design microarchitecture, verification methodologies, system performance, etc.
• You will balance other opportunities such as working with Project Management on activities, plans, and schedules

What skills, experience and qualifications do I need?

In addition to bringing your accomplishment of either Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering (or similar field) plus 5-10 years of experience working in design or verification of sophisticated compute subsystems or SoCs, you will need:

• Solid understanding of digital hardware design and Verilog HDL.
• A detailed understanding and experience of the current verification strategies required for complex SoC development, including software-based techniques
• Good knowledge of test plan creation and tracking
• Low-level programming experience including C and Assembler
• Experience with Perl, Python or other scripting language

What would give my candidacy an edge?

• Experience with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures
• Experience with SystemVerilog and verification methodologies – UVM/OVM/e
• Knowledge of Object-Oriented programming concepts.
• Experience or knowledge in the following areas
• Formal verification techniques
• Clock domain crossing verification
• Power aware verification
• Porting peripheral driver software
