The CPU team at Arm is looking for highly skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join the tools and methodology team.

The team coordinates several flows that span on different stages of the CPU project’s development cycle: from hardware description to verification and delivery to external partners.

The team works with CPU teams based in Austin (US), Cambridge (UK), Chandler (US), Bangalore (IN) and Sophia Antipolis (FR).

You will be based in Arm’s Sophia Antipolis design centre, located in one of the most beautiful parts of France, at the heart of Europe’s largest and most dynamic technology park. Surrounded by mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this outstanding design centre has delivered leading products from Arm’s Cortex (TM) processor family.

Would you like to work in a multi-site and multi-cultural environment? Are you creative, innovative and passionate about new technologies? If so, we would love to hear from you

**Responsibilities**

As a Software Engineer dedicated to supporting CPU development, your role will cover the whole lifecycle of the tools, from development to deployment.

More specifically, the targeted products cover a templating tool used by CPU designers to describe a highly parametrized hardware description that easily adapt to reuse needs; Python libraries used to create fully automated and reliable flows for Continuously Integrating and Delivering CPU artifacts; a problem-solving library implementing, among other algorithms, a Pairwise Solver to minimise the generated solution set. This also involves identifying and resolving any issues or bottlenecks that arise.

**You will be accountable for**:

- Gathering requirements from the CPU Design and Verification teams.
- Understanding present needs and being able to model them in our software.
- Architecting and developing solutions to improve hardware description reliability, debuggability and Quality Assurance.
- Implementing and supporting the tools, from the early stages of CPU development to product maturity.

**Required Skills and Experience**
- You graduated from a university or Engineering School, in Computer Science, Mathematics, Electronic / Electrical Engineering, or other related science.
- You have a good understanding of software design principles and programming languages, such as Python.
- You have strong interpersonal skills and ability to work well as part of a team with the willingness to tackle varied technical challenges.

**“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience**
- Compiled languages such as C/C++
- RTL Verification & Design techniques (Verilog or VHDL)
- CPU architecture and micro-architecture concepts

**In Return**:
You will work directly with engineers across the company to build next-generation CPUs. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for our customers. You will be part of a growing, fast-paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work.

We have a friendly and high-performance working environment, where Arm offers a competitive benefits package in France, including: private medical insurance (employee and family), 25 days annual leave, 20-day sabbatical every four years, supplementary pension and reduction in working hours (11 days).
