Job Overview:

We seek an experienced, FPGA Engineer to join Arm’s Hardware Platforms Boards team in Cambridge. The work involves RTL design for FPGAs, verification, bring-up and test automation, working in collaboration with both board designers, silicon validation and software engineers. The team works at the forefront of embedded design alongside Software, SoC Architects, Characterisation and Verification teams to prototype Arm's latest IP products! We design hardware platforms, based around Arm's custom system-on-chip (SoC) and FPGAs.

Responsibilities:

The ideal candidate will have experience designing and implementing complex digital logic on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with high-speed memories and peripherals and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs). This role involves the full design lifecycle, from architecture definition and coding to simulation, testing, and debugging on custom board control and management.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Work with cross-functional teams (architects, hardware, software) to define and implement new requirements for FPGA/CPLD solutions for SoC Validation Platforms
• Design, develop, and verify digital logic using System Verilog and Verilog for FPGA and CPLD devices. Create detailed specifications, documentation, and test plans
• Implement and verify high-speed interfaces such as PCIe and DDR/LPDDR and standard communication protocols such as QSPI, I2C, UART, etc
• Optimize designs for power, performance, and resource utilization while ensuring all timing requirements are met
• Hardware debug and validation using lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-system tools like Xilinx/AMD Vivado ILA or Altera Quartus/SignalTap
• Experience with timing analysis, constraints, and closure. Creation of automated testbenches to verify logic prior to implementation
• Familiar with the latest advancements in FPGA/CPLD technology, vendor tools, and industry trends.
• Experience with design-automation and an appreciation for engineering efficiency
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or related field

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
• Working with project management/bug tracking systems such as Jira
• Programming languages such as TCL and Python. Design in Linux environment

In Return:

You will gain a deeper understanding of Arm system architecture and performance. Opportunity to utilise your engineering skills to develop technologies and influence millions of devices for years to come. Work alongside other engineering teams including software, SoC implementation and verification, collaborating and enabling engineers and designers. Extend your design expertise, producing high quality designs incorporating Arm IP. You will enjoy new technical challenges faced when using advancing technologies!
