Senior IP Verification Engineer

Job description

Join Arm’s Solutions Engineering team as a Senior IP Verification Engineer, developing and verifying complex intellectual property (IP) and subsystem solutions for next-generation systems on chip (SoCs). You’ll help verify configurable, reusable IP for markets including enterprise, automotive and client computing. Working closely with design, architecture and verification teams, you’ll develop verification environments, create test plans, debug complex issues and help deliver high-quality IP. In this hands-on role, you’ll independently own verification activities, tackle technical challenges and help improve verification methodologies and workflows. Responsibilities: • Develop and execute verification plans for complex IP and subsystem features, including testbench development, test creation, coverage planning and verification closure. • Build, maintain and improve reusable verification environments using industry-standard methodologies and tools. • Work with design and architecture teams to review specifications, understand microarchitectural intent, identify verification needs and debug functional issues. • Analyze simulation results, coverage data and failures to identify root causes and resolve issues. • Help verify configurable and reconfigurable IP, including interactions across interfaces, operating modes and system-level dependencies. • Improve verification methodologies, automation and workflows to increase efficiency, quality and reuse. • Collaborate across engineering teams to support IP integration and delivery into larger subsystem and SoC environments. • Share technical knowledge and support less experienced engineers through reviews, problem-solving and day-to-day collaboration. Required Skills and Experience: In addition to a Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field, you should bring experience in: • Functional verification of complex IP, subsystems or SoCs, including ownership of verification planning, testbench development, test creation, debug and coverage closure. • SystemVerilog and verification methodologies such as UVM, with experience building or extending reusable verification environments. • Simulation, debug and coverage tools such as VCS, Questa, Verdi, JasperGold or comparable industry tools. • Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across design, architecture and verification teams to investigate and resolve complex technical issues. “Nice To Have” Skills and Experience: • Experience with Arm-based designs or Arm system architectures. • Knowledge of reconfigurable IP or subsystem verification. • Experience with low-power verification, including UPF-based methodologies. • Familiarity with OTP/fuse usage models, JTAG/TAP protocols or SoC debug methodologies. • Experience with Python, Perl or other scripting languages used for verification automation. • Understanding of DFT concepts, including RTL testability, scan insertion or on-chip clocking. • Experience with formal verification or static verification methodologies. In Return: At Arm, you will have the opportunity to work on technologies that form the foundation of many of the world’s most advanced computing systems. You will collaborate with experienced engineers across architecture, design and verification while contributing to complex IP and SoC development. We encourage technical curiosity, collaboration and continuous learning, and you will have opportunities to expand your expertise while making a meaningful impact on products used across a wide range of markets.
