RTL Design Engineer - Memory Controller

---

Job description

Arm System IP enables designers to build Arm AMBA systems that are high performance, power efficient and reliable. Configurable for many different applications, System IP is the right choice for your system whether it is a high-efficiency IoT endpoint or a high-performance server SoC.

The collection of silicon proven interconnects, security IP, system controllers, debug and trace and IP tooling are all designed, validated and optimized to be used with Arm Cortex processors and Arm Mali Multimedia IP. Built upon the open AMBA interface standard, Arm System IP provides design teams with the foundation for building better systems.

Job Requirements:

As an RTL Design Engineer, you would responsible for one or more functional units of the Memory Controller while working closely with performance modeling, validation, and implementation teams to meet all functional requirements and performance, power, area (PPA) goals.

• Development of high-level specifications and requirements for Memory Controller products
• Definition of detailed micro-architecture plans
• Development and implementation of SystemVerilog RTL logic design for sophisticated blocks and functions within the design
• Collaborate with key partners on the design and verification teams to close on functional and coverage requirements
• Debug functional and/or performance issues within the RTL using modern simulation and debug tools

Must Have Skills & Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering
• Prior RTL design experience is required.
• 5+ years work experience in microprocessor, SoC, memory controller and/or interconnect IP design
• Knowledge of DRAM specification (e.g., LPDDR4/5, DDR4/5) and of bus protocols (e.g., AMBA5 CHI, AMBA4 ACE or AXI)
• Experience with Verilog or VHDL, coupled with design synthesis targeted to achieve specified frequency, power, and area targets

"Nice to Have" Skills & Experience

• Prior verification or CAD experience is a plus
• Experience with CPU or compute subsystem memory micro-architecture
• Processor system knowledge including basic understanding of SoC systems as well as operating system software

In Return:

At Arm, we are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to defy ordinary and shape extraordinary. These behaviors are assessed as part of the recruitment process:

• Partner and customer focus
• Collaboration and communication
