Job Overview:

Are you passionate about shaping the future of chip design? In the Solutions Engineering group at Arm, we offer the outstanding opportunity to join our Power Attainment team in a dynamic and diverse role!

Arm is establishing teams to develop new and best-in-class silicon platforms, addressing markets such as premium mobile, compute, IoT, AI/ML server, and automotive. Arm’s ambition is to demonstrate efficient performance by architecting, implementing, and fabricating pioneering silicon using the latest SoC process nodes and packaging technologies.

This is a unique initiative, where we are driving how the next generation of leading compute devices are built across the industry. Join Arm to be part of the solution.

Responsibilities:

Join a highly focused team where we analyze and optimize the performance per watt of our next generation solutions using innovative technologies, methodologies and tools. This will involve simulation, emulation, modeling and collaboration with cross-functional teams in design, verification, architecture, SW, and pre and post silicon test. You will build and innovate new processes along the way. We want your talents applied not only to ensuring customer requirements in PPA are measured and analyzed but also understood and creatively exceeded. This includes:

  • Developing RTL simulator and emulator-based workloads for power model convergence on post-Silicon reference and prototype solutions
  • Creating SW to explore and tune performance and power in the lab

Required Skills and Experience:

We are seeking experienced engineers for a multi-disciplinary role. Ideal candidates have experience in power analysis, modeling or are motivated engineers with valuable transferable skills from verification, SW, emulation, or design backgrounds.

  • Background in running simulation/emulation tools. (e.g. VCS, Questasim, Incisive, Veloce, Palladium, Zebu, etc)
  • Knowledge of industry benchmarks like LMBench, SpecInt, Geekbench, or Gaming and ISP workloads

Nice To Have Skills and Experience:

  • Experience using tools for power analysis, power delivery and signoff. (e.g. PowerPro, PrimePower, PowerArtist)
  • Understanding of low power design features and techniques, including clock and power gating, voltage/frequency scaling, memory/logic retention
  • Ability to balance trade-offs between power, performance, and area

In Return:

Join a growing Solution Engineering SoC architecture team with significant opportunities to build our future success. This will be a fast paced and energized environment with opportunities to demonstrate your strategic and innovative thinking. You will also be rewarded with a competitive compensation structure, PTO, benefits, sabbaticals, and parental bonding leave!

Our 10x mindset guides how we engineer, collaborate, and grow. Understand what it means and how to reflect 10x in your work:

Salary Range:

$253,300-$342,700 per year

We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm. Salary is only one component of Arm's offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during the recruitment and selection process.
