SoC Verification Lead

Arm’s Systems Development team creates subsystems and SoC designs for various application segments, using the latest IP products from Arm and other vendors. We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic SoC Verification Lead to join the team. For this role you will have knowledge of verifying and testing sophisticated IP such as CPU/GPU/DSP processors with memory controllers and interconnect fabrics. You will ensure all these products work effectively with each other and the software to enable our partners to produce outstanding systems!, * As a SoC Verification Lead, with experience in leading verification teams of complex SoCs, you will make valuable contributions to a team tasked with verifying the functional correctness of SoC.

• Owning test plans, defining test methodologies, completing functional verification to the required quality levels and schedules

• Working with project management, design leads, engineering management on planning tasks, setting schedules, and quality checkpoints. SoC verification lead will also be responsible for the progress of verification activities

• Collaborate with leads from other teams including architecture, design, implementation, modelling, performance analysis, silicon validation, FPGA and board development

• SoC Verification leads are also encouraged to mentor work package/SubSystem Verification leads, Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
