Senior SoC Verification Engineer

Job Overview:

Arm’s Solution Engineering team is thrilled to be rapidly growing our SoC verification presence in Toronto. New team members will join a multifaceted group of engineers in Toronto and collaborate closely with our global RTL design and verification teams across the UK, US, France, and Hungary to help build world‑class SoCs.

Arm is expanding its efforts to deliver best‑in‑class compute solutions based on Arm’s IP compute subsystem technologies for premium mobile, infrastructure, and automotive markets. By using advanced process nodes (e.g., 2nm) and sophisticated 3D SoC packaging, Arm is driving industry‑leading performance through full‑cycle architecture, design, implementation, and fabrication. This initiative unites exceptional talent and deep semiconductor expertise to build and influence the next generation of compute solutions across the industry.

If you are passionate about working on technologies that will define and shape the next decade of compute, Arm is the place to be—our low‑power architecture, world‑class IP portfolio, and outstanding engineering talent position us to lead the future of compute for years to come.

Would you like to play a key role in defining the solution growth story in Arm?

• Contribute to robust SoC design verification with expertise in SoC integration, use‑case analysis, performance evaluation, low‑power verification, and peripheral integration (PCIe/CXL, DDRx/LPDDRx).
• Review architecture and design specifications and define the functional verification strategy.
• Develop verification test plans and implement UVM/System Verilog/Verilog test benches and tests.
• Debug and resolve complex functional verification issues.
• Enhance and maintain verification methodologies and standard processes within the team.
• Collaborate with multi‑functional teams on microarchitecture, performance, and related design aspects.
• Provide technical guidance and support to team members.
• Assist Project Management with planning, scheduling, and coordination of project activities.
• Drive sign‑off for key project landmarks, ensuring required quality, alignment to timelines, and effective collaboration across teams from Architecture through Physical Design.

In addition to bringing your accomplishment of either Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical/Computer Engineering (or similar field) over 18+ years of experience working in design or verification of sophisticated compute subsystems or SoCs, you will need:

• Strong understanding of digital hardware design principles and Verilog HDL.
• In‑depth knowledge of modern verification methodologies for complex SoC development, including hardware–software co‑verification techniques.
• Proven expertise in verifying subsystems such as PCIe/CXL, DDRx/LPDDRx, and HBM.
• Solid expertise in creating, executing, and tracking detailed verification test plans.
• Demonstrated experience in RTL verification for large‑scale SoC projects.
• Proficiency in low‑level programming languages, including C and Assembly.
• Experience with System Verilog and industry‑standard verification methodologies such as UVM, OVM, and e.
• Experience leading domain‑level or SoC‑level design verification across multiple projects, demonstrating strong hands‑on capability, influence, and negotiation skills.

• Experience with Arm‑based designs and/or ARM System Architectures
• Experience or knowledge in the following areas
• Formal verification techniques, Clock domain crossing verification, Experience with Perl, Python or other scripting language.
• Development and deployment of complex Arm SoCs on multiple Emulation platforms as well as direct hands‑on test bench development.

We are proud to have a set of behaviors that reflect our culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together. These behaviors are assessed as part of the hiring process:

• Partner and customer focus
• Collaboration and communication
• Creativity and innovation
