Are you passionate about setting new standards in physical implementation? We have a rare opportunity for a Graduate Engineer to join the CPU Implementation team in Cambridge.
Our graduate programme is designed to give you the best start possible and support your personal growth as well as professional development. In addition to a competitive salary, the programme is crafted to give you the best career start possible through on-the-job learning, access to mentoring/buddy schemes and unparalleled learning and networking opportunities from the best in the industry.
Role Overview
As a physical implementation engineer in the CPU group, you will be joining a team that defines, designs and validates Arm's processor IP - the brains inside billions of electronic devices.
You will join a successful team that has enabled huge volumes of next-generation high-efficiency processors, including the hugely successful Cortex-A53, the most recent Cortex-A510 through to the smallest and most energy-efficient Cortex-M0+ processors.
This role is to influence RTL development whilst innovating, developing and deploying the latest implementation techniques on live projects, including driving EDA vendors on advanced process nodes (eg. 3nm FinFET) whilst pushing the boundaries of power efficiency and influencing physical library development. You will provide the quality support that our customers desire and collaborate with them to develop the best products that help influence the world.
