As an implementation engineer, you will influence Arm solutions development to optimize power and performance, and you will innovate, evolve and deploy high-quality tape-out implementations.

Responsibilities

• Physical implementation of Arm Solutions using the end-to-end physical implementation flow from RTL to GDSII, including Synthesis, Floorplanning, Place & Route, STA, Power Analysis and Physical Verification.
• Optimize performance, power and area where needed and deliver outstanding implementation of our designs.
• Collaborate with design teams to influence system micro-architecture and achieve high standards.
• Enable chip design partners to support their physical implementation success.

Required skills and experience

• Large SoC systems integration
• Power and physical architecture
• Design for test
• Understanding of Synthesis, Place & Route, Clock Tree Synthesis, constraint development, timing closure; hardware languages: Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Writing and validating UPF
• Experience with Genus & Innovus, Conformal Low Power, Primetime/Tempus and other physical implementation tools
• Algorithmic thinking with programming experience in Tcl, Make and Linux shell
• Analytical problem-solving, logical reasoning, and the ability to chart a course forward
