About the Role
ARM offers IC designers a wide range of choices from its broad portfolio of Artisan Physical IP library products. ARM high-performance, high-density, low-power and ultra-low-power libraries are optimized for each silicon technology. ARM's Process-Perfect Design Methodology includes comprehensive QA and validation procedures that can enable accurate designs with high manufacturing yields. ARM Physical IP products have been used in circuits running as fast as 2 GHz and are in production or development at 250nm, 180nm, 150nm, 130nm, 90nm, 65nm, 45nm, 32nm, 28nm, 20nm, 14nm, and 7nm semiconductor process technology nodes for various foundries and IDMs for bulk CMOS and SOI process. Our layout group works with ARM internal IP design groups and all major foundries for all the technology nodes from 250nm to 7nm.

This position is a rare opportunity for an ambitious professional with electrical / electronic background to bridge the gap between the deep submicron circuit designs and process technologies. You will be exposed to the world's most successful circuit and layout teams as well as the entire world's leading foundries process technologies.
