Graduate Engineer – CPU Physical Implementation, Graduates, Cambridge, UK, Hardware Engineering

Job Description

Are you passionate about setting new standards in physical implementation? This is a rare opportunity to become a part of the Cambridge CPU implementation team. The CPU group defines, designs and validates Arm's processor IP - the brains inside billions of electronic devices.

As a physical implementation engineer, you will join the successful team that has enabled huge volumes of next-generation high-efficiency processors, including the hugely successful Cortex-A53, the most recent Cortex-A55 through to the smallest and most energy efficient Cortex-M0+ processors.

In this role your mandate will be to influence RTL development whilst innovating, crafting and deploying the latest implementation techniques - from RTL, thorough place and route to STA - on live projects. You will provide the quality support that our customers desire and collaborate with them to develop the best products that help influence the world, and you will have the opportunity to drive EDA vendors on leading-edge processes (eg. 7nm FinFET) whilst pushing the boundaries of power efficiency and influencing physical library development.

What things will you be responsible for

  • The physical implementation of Arm processors using the entire implementation flow from RTL through Place and Route to STA
  • Investigating the trade-offs involved in CPU design
  • Tackling complex challenges like low power and methodologies for improving the efficiency of implementation
  • To understand, plan and address the life-cycle phases of engineering projects
  • Working with the sales and marketing teams to support the launch of new cores
  • Supporting our customers and enabling them to be successful in the world
  • Collaborating with EDA vendors to extend the best in class results from our processors whilst focussing on the ideal user experience

Traces of Our Past: The Social Representation of the Physical World

Current Directions in Psychological Science, Ahead of Print. How do humans build and navigate their complex social world? Standard theoretical frameworks often attribute this success to a foundational capacity to analyze other people’s appearance and behavior to make inferences about their unobservable mental states. Here we argue that this picture is incomplete. Human behavior leaves […]

Optimizing crucible geometry to improve the quality of AlN crystals by the physical vapor transport method

Optimizing crucible geometry to improve the quality of AlN crystals by the physical vapor transport method

In the conventional crucible structure for AlN crystal growth by physical vapor transport, owing to the long molecular transport path of Al vapor and the disruption of the gas flow by the presence of a deflector, the Al vapor easily forms polycrystals in the growth domain. The result is increased internal stress in the crystals and increased difficulty in growing large-sized crystals. On this basis, with the help of finite element simulations, a novel crucible structure is designed. This crucible not only optimizes the gas transport but also increases the radial gradient of the AlN crystal surface, making the enhanced growth rate in the central region more obvious. The thermal stresses between the deflector and the crystal are also reduced. High-quality AlN crystals with an FWHM of 79 arcsec were successfully grown with this structure, verifying the accuracy of finite element simulation of the growth of AlN crystals. Our work has important guiding significance for the growth of high-quality AlN crystals.

Biophysical and structural study of La Crosse virus endonuclease inhibition for the development of new antiviral options

The large Bunyavirales order includes several families of viruses with a segmented ambisense (−) RNA genome and a cytoplasmic life cycle that starts by synthesizing viral mRNA. The initiation of transcription, which is common to all members, relies on an endonuclease activity that is responsible for cap-snatching. In La Crosse virus, an orthobunyavirus, it has previously been shown that the cap-snatching endonuclease resides in the N-terminal domain of the L protein. Orthobunyaviruses are transmitted by arthropods and cause diseases in cattle. However, California encephalitis virus, La Crosse virus and Jamestown Canyon virus are North American species that can cause encephalitis in humans. No vaccines or antiviral drugs are available. In this study, three known Influenza virus endonuclease inhibitors (DPBA, L-742,001 and baloxavir) were repurposed on the La Crosse virus endonuclease. Their inhibition was evaluated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer and their mode of binding was then assessed by differential scanning fluorimetry and microscale thermophoresis. Finally, two crystallographic structures were obtained in complex with L-742,001 and baloxavir, providing access to the structural determinants of inhibition and offering key information for the further development of Bunyavirales endonuclease inhibitors.

Synthesis, crystal structure and photophysical properties of a dinuclear MnII complex with 6-(di­ethyl­amino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline

A new quinoline derivative, namely, 6-(di­ethyl­amino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline, C24H23N3 (QP), and its MnII complex aqua-1κO-di-μ-chlorido-1:2κ4Cl:Cl-di­chlorido-1κCl,2κCl-bis­[6-(di­ethyl­amino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline]-1κ2N1,N2;2κ2N1,N2-dimanganese(II), [Mn2Cl4(C24H23N3)2(H2O)] (MnQP), were synthesized. Their compositions have been determined with ESI-MS, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal-structure determination of MnQP revealed a dinuclear complex with a central four-membered Mn2Cl2 ring. Both MnII atoms bind to an additional Cl atom and to two N atoms of the QP ligand. One MnII atom expands its coordination sphere with an extra water mol­ecule, resulting in a distorted octa­hedral shape. The second MnII atom shows a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal shape. The UV–vis absorption and emission spectra of the examined compounds were studied. Furthermore, when investigating the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, it was found that the fluorescent color changes from blue to green and eventually becomes yellow as the fraction of water in the THF/water mixture increases from 0% to 99%. In particular, these color and intensity changes are most pronounced at a water fraction of 60%. The crystal structure contains disordered solvent mol­ecules, which could not be modeled. The SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] was used to obtain information on the type and qu­antity of solvent mol­ecules, which resulted in 44 electrons in a void volume of 274 Å3, corresponding to approximately 1.7 mol­ecules of ethanol in the unit cell. These ethanol mol­ecules are not considered in the given chemical formula and other crystal data.

Crystal structures and photophysical properties of mono- and dinuclear ZnII complexes flanked by tri­ethyl­ammonium

Two new zinc(II) complexes, tri­ethyl­ammonium di­chlorido­[2-(4-nitro­phen­yl)-4-phenyl­quinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (C6H16N){Zn(C21H13N2O3)Cl2] (ZnOQ), and bis­(tri­ethyl­ammonium) {2,2'-[1,4-phenyl­enebis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}bis­[di­chlorido­zinc(II)], (C6H16N)2[Zn2(C20H14N2O2)Cl4] (ZnBS), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI–MS spectrometry, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitro­phen­yl)-4-phenyl­quinolin-8-ol (HOQ) and N,N'-bis­(2-hy­droxy­benzyl­idene)benzene-1,4-di­amine (H2BS) were deprotonated by tri­ethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion Et3NH+, which inter­acts via an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The ZnII atoms have a distorted trigonal–pyramidal (ZnOQ) and distorted tetra­hedral (ZnBS) geometries with a coord­ination number of four, coordinating with the ligands via N and O atoms. The N atoms coordinating with ZnII correspond to the heterocyclic nitro­gen for the HOQ ligand, while for the H2BS ligand, it is the nitro­gen of the imine (CH=N). The crystal packing of ZnOQ is characterized by C—H⋯π inter­actions, while that of ZnBS by C—H⋯Cl inter­actions. The emission spectra showed that ZnBS complex exhibits green fluorescence in the solid state with a small band-gap energy, and the ZnOQ complex does exhibit non-fluorescence.

UMD physicists discover 'smoke rings' made of laser light

Most basic physics textbooks describe laser light in fairly simple terms: a beam travels directly from one point to another and, unless it strikes a mirror or other reflective surface, will continue traveling along an arrow-straight path, gradually expanding in size due to the wave nature of light. But these basic rules go out the window with high-intensity laser light.
