Hardware Engineering Part Time Undergraduate Placement

January 2021 or June 2021 start dates are available.

This role has multiple position against it against multiple locations – Cambridge, Manchester and Sheffield

Can you please add to your covering letter which year you will be graduating

If you have a smartphone, digital camera, digital TV, gaming console or a smart meter at home, you’ve already used an Arm Powered product. Over 125 Arm Powered products are shipped every second and over 35 billion Arm technology-based chips have been shipped to date, making us the world’s leading semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) supplier.

Are you creative, innovative, and enthusiastic about new technologies? Do you enjoy programming and have a knack for problem solving? We are looking for students who are passionate about a career in digital hardware.

At Arm you will shape the future of technology and collaborate in the development of next-generation Media Processors, CPUs, System components and System Solutions to power billions of digital devices worldwide.

Hardware Part Time Undergraduate

We have exciting opportunities in the following hardware groups:

• In the CPU group we develop mainstream processors ranging from high-performance cores to low-power micro-controllers.
• In the Systems group we develop complex system IP essential to achieving both high performance and low-power system-on-chip designs.
• In the Systems group we focus on large and complex system solutions where integration takes learning well beyond block level design.
• In the Systems group we design, verify, implement and make silicon for a real-world system solution
• In both the CPU and the Systems groups, we have Implementation teams who build all Arm IP and systems solutions using leading silicon process nodes.

As a Part Time Undergraduate you will directly influence the development of hardware IP and systems that are used extensively in a wide variety of devices, from mobile phones and tablets to sensors to servers.

You will work on real projects from day one, with support and guidance from experienced engineers. Through teamwork, training, and dedication to personal development, we ensure that every graduate engineer learns about different aspects of our work and becomes an expert in the field.

What will your role be?

• You will help to write specifications for the next generation of Arm’s IP products and systems, analysing trade-offs between different options via modelling in C++ or a hardware description language (HDL).
• You will develop IP in HDL, working with the rest of the design team to deliver a product with leading power efficiency and performance.
• You will verify IP to the highest quality standards using a wide range of methodologies – constrained random simulation using testbenches written in SystemVerilog, running real applications on emulation or FPGA platforms, and using formal methods.
• You will implement Arm IP in the leading-edge silicon process nodes using industry leading design automation tools.
• You will develop system solutions using Arm IP that will showcase the capabilities of the Arm IP portfolio.

Are you a good fit for Arm?

In order to be considered, you will need to be studying for a degree in either Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or other relevant subject. Other degree types may be considered with relevant experience.

Skills and experience that we look for include:

• An engineering mind-set with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• A keen interest in processors, digital systems and physical IC design.
• Understanding of computer architecture fundamentals
• Familiarity with basic digital design concepts
• Experience of at least one programming language
• Excellent attention to detail
• Good interpersonal and teamwork skills co-operating with Arm team members around the world
• Excellent written and spoken English communication, capable of writing coherent reports, influencing and building consensus
• Willingness to be flexible and accept new challenges
• Ability to express ideas and communicate effectively

Other desirable skills include:

• Knowledge of one of the following: Arm architecture, GPU, ISP (camera) or display architecture
• Knowledge of ASIC Systems
• Knowledge of design techniques for low power
• Knowledge of IC design flow and physical design. (e.g HDL synthesis)
• Familiarity with a hardware description language, such as VHDL or Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Exposure to verification techniques and testbenches (e.g. UVM and Formal)
• Programming languages such as: assembly language (ideally Arm assembler), higher-level (e.g. C), object-oriented (e.g. C++)
• Exposure to low-level programming or driver development
• Perl, Python or other scripting language
• Familiarity of Unix/Linux working environment
