Job Overview:

Join our dynamic FPGA Prototyping verification team, a key part of Arm's Solutions Engineering group!

 

We are a dedicated group of engineers providing a robust platform to build and test software on Arm's brand-new subsystems and System-on-Chips (SoCs). Our mission is to accelerate the development process by offering a versatile and high-performance prototyping environment that enables seamless software integration and validation. These solutions target a wide range of market segments including mobile, server, IoT, automotive, and more.

 

As a member of this team your day-to-day work will consist primarily of driving verification of SoC (System on Chip) RTL designs that are modified for FPGA implementation, developing and maintaining SoC verification testbench, integrating third party VIPs, writing Testcases in C, reusing C Testcases from internal IP/ SoC frontend team, creating test-plans, developing tools using scripting languages like Python, Perl, Shell for automation of tasks.

If you are looking for a role that combines hardware and software skills in an environment where you can make a meaningful contribution, we’d love to hear from you! Join our committed team that builds innovative FPGA solutions and collaborates closely to achieve great results.

Responsibilities:

Implement and execute verification strategies to ensure detailed testing of the assigned Subsystem or SoC module.

Work closely with design engineers, architects, and other verification engineers to understand design requirements and plan verification.

Apply excellent verbal and written communication skills to report verification progress, issues, and results to customers.

Automate test cases and regression suites to improve verification efficiency and coverage.

Required Skills and Experience :

Solid understanding of SoC Verification (using C Testcases), hardware description and verification languages e.g. SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL.

Understanding of Computer architecture, bus protocols (e.g., AXI, AHB), and peripherals.

Experience with Tcl, Python or other scripting languages.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

Experience with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures.

Familiarity with ARM debugger and trace features e.g ARM DS, DSTREAM.

Experience with verification methodologies – UVM/OVM.

Knowledge of PCIe and CXL will be a plus.

In Return:

You will expand your expertise, be challenged and work with advancing technologies. You will work alongside many other engineering teams including software, SoC implementation and verification. You will be involved in deep technical discussions, working with top class multifunctional engineering teams.

How to Find Hidden Semiconductor Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IET, SEMI & More

The UK semiconductor sector is expanding—from chip design and fabrication to testing, automotive systems, IoT and quantum applications. But most of the best roles in this mission-critical field are never advertised publicly, often staying hidden within the専門 technical community. In this guide, we’ll reveal how to access these hidden semiconductor job opportunities in the UK by leveraging membership of professional bodies like the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), SEMI, EPSRC/Semiconductor Research Group, TechUK, and grassroots electronics‑hardware communities. Learn how to use directories, SIGs, CPD events and industry networks to get your name in front of hiring managers—before roles hit job boards.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.
