Job Overview:

Arm is at the forefront of advanced silicon and multi-die system design. As part of the Solutions Engineering team, you will drive sub-2nm technology PPA enablement for high-performance and low-power products.

In this role, you will work closely with architecture, RTL, IP, physical design, DTCO, foundry, EDA, and package/board teams to optimize technology-node entitlement across performance, power, area, utilization, routability, reliability, and design convergence. The role focuses on translating advanced-node technology capabilities into practical implementation methodologies, automation, and production-ready flows.

You will help define and deliver end-to-end Technology - PA solutions for future Arm products, including advanced-node SoCs, ultra-low voltage designs, and multi-die systems.

Responsibilities

• Drive technology PPA enablement for sub-2nm and future process nodes, with focus on performance, power, area, utilization, routability, and PPA convergence.
• Develop scalable methodologies and automation to evaluate and optimize technology-node tradeoffs across libraries, memories, routing resources, power delivery, clocking, design rules, and implementation constraints.
• Drive cross-functional analysis of technology PPA limiters, including congestion, IR/EM, thermal, timing, leakage, dynamic power, area efficiency, and physical verification closure.
• Deliver multi-die and 2.5D/3D implementation enablement where technology-node, package, power, and thermal tradeoffs impact product PPA.
• Hand-on execution and delivery demonstrating achieving goals.
• Build AI-assisted automation and analytics to accelerate PPA exploration, recipe optimization, debug, and design closure.
• Partner with IP, DTCO, foundry, EDA, architecture, design, and physical implementation teams to identify technology entitlement gaps and drive improvements.
• Support production execution by converting technology learnings into repeatable flows, checks, dashboards, and sign-off readiness criteria.

Required Skills and Experience

• Strong expertise in advanced-node SoC physical implementation, technology PPA optimization, and implementation methodology development.
• Strong understanding of technology-node tradeoffs, including libraries, memories, routing resources, utilization, power delivery, clocking, congestion, timing, leakage, dynamic power, and physical verification constraints.
• Solid programming and scripting skills, including Python, C, EDA tools, version control systems such as Git, and distributed processing/debug environments.
• Hands-on experience with low-power design methodologies, UPF-based design, chip finishing, and physical verification flows in advanced process technologies.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across globally distributed teams.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and collaborate with internal engineering teams, foundries, EDA providers, and ecosystem partners.

Nice to Have

• Deep understanding of advanced clocking structures, power delivery optimization, and physical verification convergence techniques.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted design automation and methodology optimization flows.

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 accommodations@arm.com 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 accommodations@arm.com. 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.
