Full Job Description

The FPGA team is part of the global Productivity Engineering group which is responsible for delivering and supporting FPGA platforms at Arm - enabling designs debug and deployment of advanced pre-silicon verification methodologies. These system solutions target a wide range of market segments like mobile, server, IoT, automotive, etc., As a FPGA Verification Engineer, you will deliver on the FPGA prototyping requirements of one or more sophisticated and highly configurable systems - while collaborating with several local and cross-site teams to achieve verification goals. Key responsibilities will include crafting test plans, developing and performing testbench verification, running validation checks on the FPGA platforms and debugging of test failures and issues. You will also contribute to improving the methodologies used by the team.,

  • Verification of subsystems, peripherals, and IPs used for FPGA prototyping purposes, both in simulation and also validation on the FPGA platform.

  • Debugging of test failures and issues by working in collaboration with the design teams and FPGA users.

  • Automation of flows & methodology such that they can be deployed to the user community.

  • Provide support for the FPGA service to the service users., This world has a design. It's infinite yet discoverable. Small yet powerful. Our design engineers must all at once predict it and create it.
