Job Overview
We make debug tools that help Arm's partners build extraordinary hardware and software on their embedded devices which power mobile, games, Android, Linux, Machine Learning, and enterprise applications. Debug tools play a vital part of the process of developing the silicon infrastructure power the AI revolution.
We are seeking a Hardware Engineer to support the development, evolution, and manufacture of the DSTREAM family of high-performance debug and trace probes, as well as related development tools!
Responsibilities
We build and develop embedded hardware for DSTREAM probes and related JTAG, trace, and boundary-scan products as part of a team delivering debug hardware and software for Arm development tools.
Your work will include:
- Hardware verification
- Board bring-up
- Schematic design
- Component selection and technical investigations
The role will involve MCU-based control boards and more complex SoC- and FPGA-based designs, including boards with high pin-count devices, multiple power domains, high-speed interfaces such as USB and Ethernet, and design for test and manufacturing.
As a team of hardware, FPGA, and software engineers, we work together to define interfaces, review designs, resolve integration issues, and support prototype build, production test, and delivery into manufacture.
Required Skills And Experience
- Creating schematic designs for embedded products with a focus on quality, testing, and manufacturing.
- Supporting board bring-up, hardware debugging, and root-cause analysis in the lab.
- Design for test and manufacture, including support for prototypes, production, manufacturing issues, and component selection.
- Working understanding of common board-level interfaces and protocols, including UART, I2C, SPI, and JTAG, with awareness of signalling standards and higher-speed interfaces such as DDR and LVDS.
- Working effectively in a multi-discipline team, including reviewing others' work with clear, constructive feedback.
