Responsibilities
- Contribute hands-on toward the development of AI-based solutions for Hardware Design & Verification automation
- Curate/develop solutions based on OpenAI Codex skills and tool integrations (e.g., simulation flows, log analysis, code review/refactor support)
- Collaborate with Arm Engineering teams to capture real engineering struggles and turn them into clear requirements
- Build quick prototypes and evaluate EDA AI tools to validate feasibility and quantify impact
- Drive adoption as a change leader: run demos/workshops; contribute onboarding guides; identify and remove adoption blockers
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with design or verification methodology: Deep understanding of RTL design, interfaces between RTL, testbench and Verification IP, experience with debugging compile and simulation issues
- Experience with EDA vendor tooling: Domain knowledge of at least one (of the three major) EDA vendor toolset
- AI tooling fluency: Practical experience using AI for engineering automation (prompt design/iteration, structured outputs, tool use)
- Strong solving attitude: you can quickly diagnose why something doesn’t work in a real environment and drive resolution across teams
- Clear written communication: can turn ambiguous conversations into requirements and actionable plans
Nice to have:
- Automation / scripting: Strong in at least one scripting language (Python preferred)
- Ability to integrate and orchestrate tools (parsing logs/reports, running flows, collecting results)
- Experience in an Application Engineer / internal customer-facing role where you translated user needs into working solutions
- Familiarity with agentic workflows, skills, tool calling patterns
