About the role

We are searching for a talented Software Engineer to join the Raven Random Test Generator team at the Arm Austin Design Center. As a Software Engineer on our team, you will help develop and deploy our core product, Raven – a powerful dynamic random test generator written in C++ that has been used extensively by CPU design teams throughout the Arm ecosystem for more than a decade. You will work in close collaboration with senior CPU verification engineers both inside and outside of Arm to define and develop new ways of achieving their verification goals.

The Raven team is part of Arm’s Architecture & Technology Group – the part of Arm that develops architectural specifications and technologies needed to support Arm’s partners in successful development of processors conforming to the architecture. In addition to our product for CPU verification groups, we also collaborate early and frequently with Arm’s architects to help ensure that new architectures can be verified effectively.

As a member of our team, your day-to-day work will consist primarily of design and development of our C++ tool and supporting customers and coworkers to solve verification problems. This work relies heavily upon a strong knowledge of computer architecture concepts and ability to read and understand new architectural specifications. If you are looking for a role that combines hardware and software skills in an environment where you can make a significant contribution and collaborate with a talented team that creates leading-edge verification technologies and methodologies, we’re looking forward to hearing from you!
