SoC Design Engineer

Arm

Budapest, Hungary

Are you an RTL design engineer who would 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? Then we want to speak with you!

We're looking for a hard-working, creative and motivated SoC design engineer to join the team developing sophisticated processing systems that are used across multiple lines of business ranging from IoT, Automotive to Infrastructure computing.

Responsibilities:

As a creative design engineer with a knowledge of subsystems and SoCs you will be part of a team integrating IPs and developing logic for subsystems.

You will need to understand and review the subsystem architecture, and develop the microarchitecture specifications, review verification test plans and help debug and fix issues, as well as work with the performance analysis team to evaluate and improve system performance.

Your key responsibilities will include understanding incoming IPs, their functionality, interfaces and interworking with various subsystem and SoC components, developing subsystem microarchitecture specifications and RTL, proposing refinements to IP teams based on system-level integration and usage, running various design checks and fixing bugs.

You will identify areas of improvement and enhance the design methodologies used by the team and by the wider organization. You will guide and support other members of the team as needed to enable the successful completion of project activities while balancing other tasks including working with Project Management on drawing-up and managing plans and schedules.

Required Skills and Experience:

In addition to holding either a Bachelor's or a Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field, you will demonstrate:

• Experience with digital hardware design and Verilog/System Verilog;
• A detailed understanding of and experience with the current design techniques for complex SoC development;
• Experience with static design checks, including CDC, RDC, X-prop, lint;
• Experience creating design specifications;
• Experience with Perl, Python or other scripting languages;
• A strong delivery record of sophisticated RTL subsystems in reasonable timescales;
• An ability to navigate and make high-level PPA trade-offs and articulate the rationale for those choices;
• Experience with synthesis and timing analysis and power management techniques;
• Good communication and collaboration skills.

'Nice To Have' Skills and Experience:

• Experience with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures;
• Knowledge of memory system interconnect protocols (e.g. AMBA ACE-Lite or AXI);
• Familiarity with one or more of processor subsystems, NoCs, security subsystems, PCIe subsystems, system power management flows;
• Experience with SystemVerilog and verification methodologies.
