Do you enjoy bringing people, technology and strategy together to deliver meaningful outcomes? Are you excited by projects that shape how technology is developed within a global organisation? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
At Arm, we create technology that powers billions of devices around the world. Behind every innovation are teams working together to develop and deliver hardware and software across a wide range of products.
Job Overview
You will project manage the development of RTL-based platforms spanning Compute Subsystems (CSS) or complete SoC implementations, deployed on FPGA and hardware emulation systems. These platforms offer crucial environments for pre-silicon software development, architecture exploration, and validation, while acting as reliable reference systems during initial silicon bring-up.
This is a technically engaged project management role. Although you will not be responsible for engineering implementation, you will develop sufficient technical understanding to challenge assumptions, identify execution risks, balance competing priorities and drive informed project decisions.
Working across architecture, RTL development, verification, software, FPGA implementation, emulation, validation and operations teams, you will be accountable for planning, execution and successful project delivery within a dynamic, fast-paced engineering environment.
Responsibilities
- Project manage FPGA and Emulation platform developments from planning through delivery.
- Build and maintain project plans, schedules, turning points and dependencies.
- Manage project scope, requirements, risks and changes throughout the project lifecycle.
- Work with architecture, RTL, verification, software, FPGA and validation teams to keep projects on track.
- Lead project evaluations, track progress and provide clear status updates to engineering and leadership.
- Identify issues early and drive them through to resolution.
- Manage competing priorities while balancing technical, schedule and business needs.
- Support software development and first silicon bring-up by delivering high-quality FPGA and Emulation platforms.
- Capture lessons learned and help improve project management practices across the organisation.
