Would you like to help craft Arm's next generation of hardware platforms? We are looking for an enthusiastic engineer to join Arm's Hardware Platform team, based in Cambridge UK. The team works at the forefront of embedded design, focusing on prototyping Arm's latest IP products, to build physical hardware development platforms based around custom Arm SoC and FPGA implementations.
These platforms are used for software development and validation activities for both our external partners/customers and internal development teams.
Job Overview
We require board-level schematic and layout design, development and testing as part of a growing project team.
Within Arm's platforms design team there are many opportunities around systems-level board design; from system design to schematic entry, layout and simulation of PCBs, and documentation and platform architecture. The desire to be involved in new and different activities at different times is needed, as we are involved in a broad cross-section of hardware engineering across the project lifecycle.
We work alongside many other teams including Software, SoC Implementation, Characterisation and Verification.
Required Skills and Experience
Enjoyment for electronic design and desire to learn, develop and gain new skills!
Experienced with use of EDA tools for schematic entry and PCB layout
High-speed design experience, able to demonstrate knowledge of PCB stack-ups and topologies
Experience with various high-speed IO interface standards (e.g. PCIe and DDR)
Competence with embedded system board design, designing with complex LSI devices such as FPGAs and embedded firmware to help test and debug designs
Excellent interpersonal skills with a keenness for learning and self-improvement
Good written and spoken English; ability to write coherent documentation
A creative and structured approach to problem-solving
“Nice To Have” Skills and Qualities
The following skills are not essential for this role, but experience in any of the following areas would improve the application:
Embedded hardware debug using laboratory test equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, vector network analysers)
RTL skills in Verilog or VHDL
Use of a UNIX environment and shell programming/scripting (e.g. Tcl, Python)
Experience in using Cadence OrCAD / Allegro
Knowledge of Signal/Power Integrity design and simulation techniques from board-design or chip-packaging perspective
Programming languages such as: assembly language (ideally Arm assembler), higher-level (e.g. C), object orientated (e.g. C++)
In Return
Through this, there is the opportunity to extend your board-level design expertise, producing high-quality PCB designs incorporating Arm IP, working with advancing technologies, and gaining a deeper understanding of system architecture and performance!
