Software Engineer - Post-Silicon Infrastructure

Position: Staff Software Engineer - Post-Silicon Infrastructure
Join Arm’s Chandler Characterization team to develop software infrastructure that enables post-silicon validation and characterization of next-generation Arm SoCs.As a Staff Software Engineer – Post-Silicon Infrastructure, you will build scalable tools and frameworks that connect hardware, firmware, workloads, instrumentation, and data collection. You will help transform engineering experiments into reliable, repeatable capabilities used across Arm validation platforms.

Responsibilities:

Develop reusable software infrastructure for post-silicon validation and characterization

Build Python automation for workloads, platform controls, instrumentation, and data collection

Develop scalable frameworks for repeatable and reliable test execution!

Collaborate across engineering teams to integrate, debug, and improve automated test methodologies

Required Skills and Experience :

We are looking for systems software experience with a focus on Linux, Python, automation, and developing reusable software frameworks for physical hardware environments.

Strong Python development skills with experience building automation, frameworks, or orchestration tools

Experience with Linux systems, APIs, software architecture, and development that follows configuration parameters.

Experience developing CI, regression, or automated test infrastructure for reliable unattended execution

Experience debugging complex software and hardware interactions using logging, telemetry, and other diagnostic methods

Ability to develop reusable solutions while collaborating with firmware, validation, systems, and infrastructure teams“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

Experience with embedded systems, hardware validation, or post-silicon environments is helpful, but deep characterization experience is not required.

Experience with C/C++, embedded systems, firmware interfaces, or SoC platforms

Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), lab instrumentation, telemetry, or equipment automation

Experience developing APIs for hardware control, workload execution, data collection, and failure recovery

Experience with YAML or other automation platforms that are guided by configuration data Understanding of silicon validation, characterization, power/performance, or system-level testing

You will succeed in this role by turning complex engineering workflows into reliable infrastructure that can scale across platforms and users. Curiosity, teamwork, and an interest in learning the post-silicon characterization domain will help you make an impact across Arm engineering teams!
