Staff Implementation Engineer

About the role

As an Implementation Engineer in Arm's Solutions Engineering group, you will help define future chip design techniques by improving the power, performance, and system integration of Arm products. Your work will influence design flows, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, and the knowledge base that enables custom SoC, CPU, and GPU chip design. You will drive improved implementation for Arm and our partners through comprehensive implementation and analysis methodologies.

Responsibilities

• Synthesis, physical design, and implementation of CPU and GPU cores, system interconnect, and other Arm IP, as well as SoCs.
• Analyze design timing, area, and power to improve the quality of Arm IP.
• Develop and deploy new methodologies to enhance implementation efficiency and results.
• Support and develop detailed implementation analysis and data-mining methodologies.
• Collaborate with implementation and physical IP RTL design teams to drive analysis and optimization of Arm IP.
• Convert R&D concepts into real implementation solutions.
• Enable partners to achieve the best possible quality of results.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or another relevant technical field.
• 7+ years of proven experience in ASIC implementation, physical design, STA and timing closure, structured clock tree, PDN analysis, DFM, and physical verification.
• Ability to express new insights and communicate them effectively.
• High level of initiative, problem-solving skills, and dedication.
• Experience crafting and adopting new silicon implementation techniques and methodologies, and promoting their use with international teams.
• Knowledge of the entire IC design flow, from RTL through to GDS2.
• Proven programming and scripting skills (e.g., Tcl, Perl, R, Make, sh).

Nice-to-have Skills

• Knowledge of Arm-based CPUs and SoCs.
• Experience with low-power design techniques (power gating, voltage/frequency scaling).
• Experience with Verilog RTL design.
• Experience with ATPG tools and/or production testing.
