Job description

Job Description

We are looking for enthusiastic graduate engineers interested in a career in digital design and verification. While working in ARM's Imaging and Video Group (IVG) you will be shaping the future of technology and collaborating in the development of the next-generation image and video IP systems that will fuel billion of devices world-wide.

What will I be accountable for?

There are open graduate design and verification roles at ARM IVG. The successfully candidate will be responsible for delivering ARM IVG’s new hardware IP designs. These designs will be used extensively in consumer devices such as mobile phones and tablets, as well as in numerous other areas such as in the next generation intelligent camera and display systems for Automotive, IoT, and Security markets.

Working in ARM IVG requires a candidate to be creative, innovative, and enthusiastic about new technologies. Our engineers create products that provide world-class features and performance.

Our graduate hardware engineers start working immediately on real project tasks with the help and guidance of experienced engineers. Through teamwork, training, and dedication to personal development, our goal for every graduate engineer is to quickly learn about the different aspects of developing highly-complex designs, to start contributing to different project tasks, and ultimately to develop into an expert in the field.

You will be working in a multi-site and multi-cultural environment, and will have the opportunity to work on different projects and with different groups through the graduate rotation programme.

What will your role be?
• You will be creating the specifications for the next generation of ARM’s imaging and video products, analysing the trade-offs between different options via modelling in Matlab, C++, or RTL.
• You will be developing IP using RTL code, working with the rest of the design team to deliver a product with leading power efficiency and performance.
• You will be verifying that IP to the highest quality standards using a wide range of methodologies – constrained random simulation using testbenches written in SystemVerilog, running real applications on emulation or FPGA platforms, and applying formal methods.
