Lead Engineer- Drive Systems - England, United Kingdom - ARM

Description

We are looking for Lead FPGA / Embedded-Systems Engineer to join Arm's Solution Engineering Hardware Platforms team on a permanent basis.

We are a multi-disciplinary team with software, FPGA and board design expertise delivering platforms internally and externally in support Arm's IP business model.

These platforms are used for software development and IP validation activities both internally by Arm and externally by partners/customers.

You'll be the lead, generating the FPGA prototype design for enablement and validation, working with software and boards engineers.

Responsibilities for engineering release flows with a strong focus on engineering efficiency and quality.
The role includes RTL creation and modification along with implementation constraints with high-quality, clear, accurate technical documentation. Familiarity with writing and reviewing documentation is desirable.

Liaise and collaborate with development teams, translating high level requirements into project and design requirements, ensuring these are implemented and where not possible/feasible providing mitigations and alternatives.

Breaking down the requirements (technical and delivery) and translating into packages of work that are direct inputs in forming a resourced project plan.

Tracking to the project plan, identifying, and managing risks and reporting status
Developing FPGA implementations targeting both our internal platforms and 3rd party platforms to demonstrate Arm's latest IP products.
Commissioning of FPGA prototyping hardware including specification of peripheral hardware.
Development of accurate project plans involving multiple teams and ensuring deliveries follow the agreed plan.

Design automation is critical when constructing efficient design and delivery flows, scripting skills in Python and TCL would be advantageous.

Excellent communications skills, written and spoken English; Knowledge and expertise in debugging sophisticated designs, embedded software, simulation and hardware.

A creative and structured approach to problem-solving.
Use of Synplify tool chain for single FPGA implementations.
Knowledge/Experience of implementation of DDR memory sub-systems.

Programming languages such as:
assembly language (ideally Arm assembler), higher-level (e.g. C++)
Use of a UNIX environment and shell programming/scripting in e.g. Tcl, Perl, Python etc.

Working alongside many other engineering teams including software, IP implementation and verification involving deep technical discussions, working with top class multifunctional engineering teams.
