The verification software team in Cambridge is responsible for developing a Random Instruction Stream generator which we use to stress ARM CPUs under development. This enables us to search for hardware bugs earlier in the design cycle, which we can then investigate at a waveform level and share with fails with hardware design teams to ensure their resolution.

You will need an understanding of CPU architecture as well as an ability to design, understand and develop 'C' and ARM assembly code.

This opportunity gives you the potential to exercise and expand a range of skills from low-level software development through to hardware debug.
