This position offers an outstanding opportunity for a highly motivated IP Verification Engineer to join Arm’s SoC Management IP team.

Our group develops and verifies infrastructure IP that is fundamental to Arm-based systems, including message handling, interrupt control, and performance monitoring components. These IPs are critical to SoCs ranging from real-time embedded platforms to large-scale cloud computing.

You will collaborate with architects, designers, and verification engineers to produce high-quality IP by applying advanced verification methodologies and tools.

As a member of the verification team, you will:

• Develop and own verification plans for IP blocks based on architecture and build specifications
• Build and implement System Verilog/UVM-based verification environments, including test benches, stimulus, and checkers
• Define functional and code coverage goals and drive coverage closure
• Debug RTL and verification issues, working closely with build and architecture teams to resolve problems
• Complete regression testing and analyze failures to root cause
• Support the advancement and refinement of verification methodologies and infrastructure
• Participate in building and verification reviews, providing feedback to improve build quality and verifiability
• Collaborate with teams across Arm to ensure delivery of high-quality IP

• Experience in RTL verification, including development of constrained-random environments
• Strong proficiency in System Verilog and familiarity with UVM or similar methodologies
• Experience in writing test plans, developing test benches, and driving coverage closure
• Good debugging and problem-solving skills in complex simulation environments
• Understanding of verification fundamentals, including functional coverage and assertions
• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, or similar) for automation
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively within a team

• Familiarity with AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB, or CHI or equivalent experience)
• Experience with system-level or SoC verification flows
• Knowledge of interrupt handling, message-based communication, or performance monitoring architectures
• Experience with formal verification, emulation, or low-power verification techniques
• Exposure to debug or trace infrastructures

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience
