Job Description

The Role

Job Overview:

Are you an established software engineer with a strong background and understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies and architecture? The Arm Software (CE-SW) 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 CESW is seeking SoC/IP 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.

Responsibilities:

Members of the modelling team take hardware designs and specifications and build functional representations in software of an entire hardware platform and individual hardware components.

  • Develop, test and maintain high-speed models for Arm’s system level IP.
  • Interact 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.

    • Required Skills and Experience:

    University degree, Masters or PhD (or equivalent), specifically in Electronics or Computer Science, with an excellent academic record.

  • We seek individuals with strong C/C++ skills combined with a detailed understanding of the internals of computers and SoCs.
  • Experience in developing SoC virtual prototype using C/C++/SystemC/TLM.
  • You can demonstrate a proficiency in developing software, including coding, testing and debugging.
  • Your background shows experience with scripting, and source control systems such as GIT/Gerrit.
  • 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 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, hard-working and flexible approach to work with a flair for creative lateral thinking and problem solving with a dedication to extend the breadth and depth of your knowledge.
  • We are looking for strong interpersonal skills and excellent written and spoken English.

    • “Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

  • Experience with Programmer View modelling, knowledge of Arm IP or architecture.
  • Substantial experience of SoC/IP modelling.
  • A background in low-level or bare-metal software, firmware or device-driver development is an advantage.
  • We value experience working on complex software projects in collaboration with a large multi-site team.

    • In Return:

    Arm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues. We are a diverse organization of dedicated and innovative individuals, and don’t discriminate on the basis of any characteristic.
