About the role
The Arm Systems Media IP team is responsible for developing Image Signal Processors (ISPs), Display Processors, and Video codecs for deployment within Arm Compute Subsystems for end markets including automotive, IoT, and client segments, with intellectual property spanning RTL, reference drivers, tools, and libraries. The role involves specifying and developing new hardware verification testbenches for future generation hardware IP, improving existing testbenches for performance, quality, and efficiency, and driving process and methodology improvements for hardware verification. The position sits within a new team with opportunities to shape its future.
What you will do
- Verification ownership of unit level or multi-unit hierarchy or alternatively verification lead of an overall IP (ISP, Display, Video).
- Architecting verification IP and full verification environments.
- Reviewing and assessing proposed design changes from a verification complexity point of view.
- Analysis of data from simulation runs using machine learning and data science techniques to drive efficient bug discovery and debug.
- Identify cross Media IP process or methodology improvement opportunities, implementing changes to advance hardware verification efficiency.
- Close collaboration with other Arm engineering teams leading to high quality IP that works well in a complete system.
- Mentor & support other members of the team.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 9+ years of experience in working with constrained-random verification including ownership of a suitably complex verification environment and creating testbenches.
- Experience developing reusable and scalable code whilst having in-depth knowledge of SV-UVM.
- Strong scripting skills – being able to develop scripts to support new and existing flows.
- Solid software engineering skills including understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, and algorithms.
- Familiar with the tools and processes for developing testbenches and finishing all aspects of the verification process.
- Prior technical and/or team leadership skills required for more senior positions.
Preferred qualifications
- Team leadership and mentoring experience.
- Multiprocessing microarchitecture experience including knowledge of bus protocols (e.g. AMBA APB/AHB/AXI).
- Past experience in Formal Verification testbenches.
- Experience in video codec, ISP, or display projects, including knowledge of advanced image processing algorithms, such as local tone mapping, noise reduction, motion estimation, transform coding, etc.
- Experience of Functional Safety product development for the Automotive market (applying standards such as ISO 26262 and/or IEC 61508).
- Experience with Continuous Integration flows.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
