Verification Engineer

JOB OVERVIEW

Join Arm’s Systems Media IP team as a Verification Engineer, developing and enhancing verification environments for next-generation media hardware. You will work alongside verification engineers and RTL designers to test and improve hardware functionality.

The team develops image signal processors, display processors and video codecs for Arm Compute Subsystems used across automotive, IoT and client devices. You will also have opportunities to explore AI-assisted approaches to hardware verification.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog and UVM verification environments for Media IP designs.
• Create and run constrained-random and directed tests, including reusable test sequences, checkers and functional coverage models.
• Analyse simulation results and debug functional failures with design engineers.
• Contribute to verification planning, functional coverage analysis and coverage closure.
• Develop scripts and automation tools to improve verification and regression efficiency.
• Collaborate with verification, RTL design and other engineering teams, sharing ideas to improve verification methods.
• Explore AI-assisted tools and emerging agentic AI techniques for verification workflows.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Experience in digital hardware verification, including developing and debugging testbenches, test sequences and verification components.
• Working knowledge of SystemVerilog, UVM and constrained-random verification.
• Understanding of digital design, computer architecture and RTL concepts, as well as functional coverage, assertions and verification planning.
• Programming and scripting capability, including object-oriented concepts, and the ability to analyse technical issues and collaborate with engineering teams.

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Knowledge of AMBA protocols such as APB, AHB or AXI.
• Familiarity with formal or assertion-based verification.
• Exposure to image signal processors, display processors, video codecs or image processing algorithms.
• Experience with regression automation, continuous integration, version control or Linux development environments.
• Python scripting experience.
• Interest or experience in generative AI, agentic AI, large language models or AI-assisted tools for verification and automation, including through projects or research.
• Familiarity with functional safety or automotive hardware development.

IN RETURN

You will develop your verification skills alongside experienced engineers while working with advanced Media IP architectures and complex hardware systems. The role offers opportunities to take increasing ownership of verification activities, expand your technical capabilities and explore AI-assisted approaches to test generation, debugging and regression analysis. You can contribute ideas to the evolution of verification methods for technology used in devices across a range of markets.

Use of AI in Your Application

At Arm, we embrace the benefits AI can bring, including in recruitment. You may use AI to support your preparation, such as improving the clarity of written responses, practicing interview questions, or learning more about our industry. However, your application and interview responses must reflect your own thinking, experience, and abilities. We want to understand your authentic perspective, creativity, and approach to problem solving. As such, you may not use AI to complete assigned tasks as part of any assessments. If you plan to use AI-supported or assistive technologies as part of a reasonable adjustment, please contact [email protected] so we can support you.

Recruitment Adjustments and Accommodations

At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email [email protected]. To note, by sending us the requested information, you consent to its use by Arm to arrange for appropriate accommodations. All accommodation or adjustment requests will be treated with confidentiality, and information concerning these requests will only be disclosed as necessary to provide the accommodation. Although this is not an exhaustive list, examples of support include breaks between interviews, having documents read aloud, or office accessibility. Please email us about anything we can do to accommodate you during the recruitment process.

Hybrid Working

Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
