Hardware Verification Engineer

The Media Processing Division (MPD) within ARM has the mission to be at the forefront of advanced multimedia IP products. The Mali range of Graphics Processors and Video Engines deliver an advanced architecture for hardware acceleration of graphics and video, tuned for low energy consumption and high performance. We are now expanding our existing engineering team in Lund, Sweden and are therefore seeking talented, highly motivated Hardware Verification Engineers.

Role
Verification of high performance, low power IP is a vast and exciting challenge. At ARM, verification is a significant, integral part of any IP development process and for each GPU development the verification activity is planned and executed by a dedicated team of experts who are involved in all stages of the project from methodology definition to design sign-off. You will work as part of a world class engineering team on highly challenging GPU development projects. This is a demanding hands-on role, employing the latest design and verification techniques to develop best-in-class configurable graphics processor hardware IP that is optimized for low power and high performance. As ARM utilises a wide range of verification activities including simulation, prototyping, modelling and formal proofs the successful candidate will be required demonstrate specialist skills in complex IP verification, including hands-on experience using state of the art verification tools, techniques and methodologies. Senior engineers are also expected to contribute significantly to the definition and implementation of verification strategies, support junior engineers, create and review test plans, and technically lead the efforts of small project teams while taking responsibility for the verification quality.

Job Requirements

Good university degree, ideally in electronic engineering or computer science, although other science graduates will be considered if they have relevant experience.
