Job Description

Create something that the world is waiting to see!

ARM’s Sophia Antipolis design centre is 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 exceptional design centre has delivered leading products from ARM’s Cortex (TM) processor family. These CPUs power some of the world’s bestselling smartphones, tablets and gaming systems, using technology that has taken user experience and performance to another level.

Now working on the next generation of processors that will appear in the most desirable products over the next 3 years, the Sophia Antipolis design team is a good combination of very experienced engineers and some of the most talented graduates, coming from the very best engineering schools. Collectively, the team is highly innovative, collaborative, delivery orientated and committed.

Graduate Implementation Engineer:


Meeting Area, Frequency and Power requirements is one of most challenging activities in CPU development. You will work in close loop with micro-architecture designers and standards cells/Macro designers to improve key metrics as well as overall quality of designs targeting 16nm and below technology nodes. Using a broad array of skills, you will also be part of a complete implementation flow development from synthesis to GDS2, including static timing analysis, IR drop analysis and equivalence checking.

As a member of the Sophia Antipolis CPU implementation team :

·  You will work in close loop with the CPU design team; you will identify critical paths and timing bottlenecks across IP development, enabling correct trade-off between the various performance metrics of the designs (frequency, IPC, power, area)
·  You will have to produce Power/Performance/area figures and help improving CPU micro architecture.
·  You will take part of existing CPU benchmarking to get the best possible Quality of Results.

Job Requirements

Education & Qualifications:
