Senior Implementation Engineer

ARM • San Diego, CA

41d • Hybrid

About The Position

As an Implementation Engineer in Arm's Solutions Engineering group we like to think we are not just crafting sophisticated CPUs, GPUs and SoCs, but we are defining future chip design techniques. Not only do we improve the power, performance and system integration of our products, but we also craft the design flows, influence Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and build the knowledge base that makes custom SoC, CPU and GPU chip design possible. At Arm, our work goes beyond multiple divisions where we drive improved implementation for Arm and our partners. A key component of this is around the development of comprehensive implementation and analysis methodologies.

Requirements

• Bachelors or Master's degree equivalent in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or other relevant technical fields.
• 7+ years of proven experience in ASIC Implementation, Synthesis, Timing constraints, UPF, Physical design, STA and Timing closure, Structured clock tree, PDN analysis
• The ability to demonstrate that you can express new insights and communicate them effectively. Possess a high level of dedicated, initiative and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in crafting and embracing new silicon implementation techniques and methodologies and promote their use with international teams
• Previous experience in and knowledge of the entire IC design flow, from RTL through to GDS2. Confirmed programming and scripting skills eg. Tcl, Perl, R, Make, sh.

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge around 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.

Responsibilities

• Work with design team to develop design intent, timing constraints required to enable implementation.
• Synthesis, Physical design and implementation of CPU and GPU cores, system interconnect and other ARM IP, SoC
• Analyze design timing, area and power to help improve the quality of ARM IP
• Develop and deploy new methodologies to improve implementation efficiency and results
• Support and develop detailed implementation analysis and data-mining methodologies.
• Work with implementation and physical IP RTL design teams to drive analysis and optimization of our IP.
• Converting R&D concepts into real implementation solutions.
• Enable our partners to achieve the best possible quality of results.
