Principal Verification Engineer

Job Description

Are you passionate about digital hardware verification? This is a fantastic opportunity to work on cutting‑edge Arm IP, helping craft technology that powers the next generation of mobile apps, portable devices, home automation, smart cities, self‑driving cars—and more!

This role sits within Arm’s Solutions Engineering team
, which drives the specification, RTL design, and verification of advanced compute subsystems for Arm-based SoCs. As part of this group, you’ll collaborate closely with design engineers who deliver low‑power, high‑speed, area‑efficient architectures, ensuring that verification strategies maintain the highest quality and robustness. The team’s scope extends to leadership in methodology improvement, functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508), and scalable silicon solutions across automotive and complex ASIC products—giving this role both technical depth and strategic impact.

Joining our growing and versatile team, you’ll contribute to the development and verification of industry‑leading hardware designs. Collaborating with experts across global design centers, you’ll drive impactful projects and help deliver Arm’s next‑generation IP using the most sophisticated tools and methodologies.

As a verification engineer, you will make a difference by:

• As a Principal Verification Engineer with expertise in subsystems, complex compute subsystems, and SoCs, you will lead a technical team responsible for verifying the functional correctness of RTL designs for Solution Engineering hardware products.
• Collaborating with the project design team, you will interpret design specifications, develop a functional verification strategy, and coordinate schedules in partnership with the project management team.

• Influencing the verification strategy and methodology.
• Taking ownership of complex work packages and driving them to success.
• Working closely with design teams to validate subsystem functionality, performance, and safety‑critical robustness.

• Meticulous attention to detail, ensuring high‑quality verification that minimizes bug escapes.
• Proven experience in block‑level verification using UVM or similar methodologies.
• Strong knowledge of coverage‑driven verification for complex designs.
• Proficient in specifying, creating, and debugging System Verilog/UVM constrained‑random test benches.
• Skilled in planning verification tasks and producing realistic effort and time estimates.
• Experience in embedded C‑based SoC verification environments would be helpful.

• Experience in working with requirements definition and management with Formal verification experience.
• Proficiency in developing C/C++ models of a microarchitecture.
• Familiarity with Arm architecture and AMBA bus protocols.
• Knowledge of functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508) in automotive or complex ASIC products.
