Are you an established software engineer with a strong background and understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) technologies and architectures?
The Arm Open Source Software (OSS) group enables partners to build software on Arm IP-based systems. We develop and contribute to open source projects, providing reference implementations and optimisations to key software system components, and also validated software stacks for Arm IP-based reference platforms used in intelligent devices.
The Platform Modelling team within OSS is seeking modelling engineers to build highly efficient software models representing the functional aspects of System-on-Chip platforms that include many of Arm’s latest technologies, a base on which the rest of the OSS group builds their software stacks. To influence the future of energy-efficient devices at a time of transformation in our industry, this is the place to be.
Accountabilities:
Members of the modelling team take hardware designs and specifications and build functional representations in software of an entire hardware platform and individual hardware components.
• Develop, test and maintain high-speed models for Arm’s system level IP.
• Interact with hardware engineers across Arm to understand their IP and model it accurately.
• Build Virtual Platforms that can be used for early software development.
• Collaborate with OSS engineers to help them integrate their software on your platform and to diagnose problems.
• Produce and implement development plans in conjunction with project management and engineering peers across Arm.
Education & Qualifications:
University degree, Masters or PhD (or equivalent), specifically in Electronics or Computer Science, with an excellent academic record.
Essential Skills & Experience:
• We seek individuals with strong C/C++ skills combined with a detailed understanding of the internals of computers and SoCs.
• You can demonstrate a proficiency developing software, including coding, testing and debugging.
• Your background shows experience with scripting, and source control systems such as GIT/Gerrit.
• You will possess and exhibit knowledge of a leading RISC based computer architecture alongside experience of CPU architecture and familiarity with one or more CPU instruction sets.
• We expect you are focused and self-motivated with the ability to work independently and in a distributed team; showing a willingness to be flexible and accept new challenges.
• We expect a professional, hard-working and flexible approach to work with a flair for creative lateral thinking and problem solving with a dedication to extend the breadth and depth of your knowledge.
• We are looking for strong interpersonal skills and excellent written and spoken English.
Desirable Skills & Experience:
• Experience with Programmer View modelling, knowledge of Arm IP or architecture.
• Substantial experience of hardware modelling.
• A background in low-level or bare-metal software, firmware or device-driver development is an advantage.
• We value experience working on complex software projects in collaboration with a large multi-site team.
