Job Overview
The modelling team within the Arm Central Engineering Software division enables internal and external customers to build and validate software on Arm IP-based systems for various domains (e.g., IoT, Client, Infrastructure) before silicon is available. We are seeking modelling engineers to build highly efficient software models representing the functional aspects of specific Arm hardware components. These individual software models play a key role in constructing a full system model or virtual platform environment that emulates hardware components alongside sophisticated software stacks (e.g., Linux, Android) and enable early software development for internal and external users, faster execution, and many debugging tasks such as inspecting memory bus transactions.
Note that this is a hybrid position, meaning that the candidate must be willing to relocate and be on-site for a certain number of days of the week.
Responsibilities
* Develop, test, and maintain high-speed models for Arm’s IP (specifically, the Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC)).
* Interact with architects and hardware engineers across Arm to understand the IP and model it accurately.
* Learn about some of the cutting edge designs through inter‑team discussions and specification documents.
* Build specific IP to be integrated into system models that can be used for early software development.
* Give feedback on hardware architectural designs based on experience you’ll develop on the modelling team.
Required Skills and Experience
* Understanding and ability to develop in modern C++.
* Good understanding of the internals of computers, computer architecture, and SoCs.
* Proficiency in developing software, including coding, testing, and debugging.
* Strong interpersonal skills and excellent written and spoken English.
Nice to Have Skills and Experience
* Experience with programmer view modelling or instruction‑level simulators (e.g., QEMU, Simics, Gem5, Virtualizer), knowledge of Arm IP, or Arm architecture.
* Experience in developing IP/SoC virtual prototypes using C/C++/SystemC with an understanding of system‑level architecture and concepts (e.g., SMMU, Virtualization, caching).
* Experience working on complex software projects in collaboration with a large multi‑site team.
Benefits & Compensation
Salary Range: £73,500 - £99,500 per year
Equal Opportunities
Arm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues. We are a diverse organization of dedicated and innovative individuals, and don’t discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
