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.
