Senior Software Engineer - Media IP Modelling

Job Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated SoC Engineer with strong experience in hardware design or verification and a strong understanding of system-level integration to join our innovative Systems group.

This role focuses on developing and supporting flows for SoC design builds. You will work closely with SoC design and frontend design tooling teams to define scalable strategies, develop and maintain reusable flows, and contribute to automation tooling that ensures the delivery of robust, high-quality next-generation SoC systems.

About The Team

You will be joining a highly skilled and collaborative team composed of SoC Front-End Design and SoC Design Build Tooling engineers. Our team blends deep hardware design expertise with advanced software development capabilities to deliver high-quality, scalable SoC solutions.

We consist of hardware engineers who architect and implement complex IP blocks and SoC subsystems, alongside software engineers who build and maintain robust automation and tooling infrastructure to streamline SoC design, integration, and verification. Together, we drive innovation in build flow development, verification efficiency and delivery of next-generation SoC platforms.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of hardware and software, contributing directly to the success of highly configurable, high-performance System IP and SoC designs.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and enhance flows and infrastructure to support SoC design builds and verification processes.
• Collaborate with SoC design and frontend tooling teams to ensure alignment between build flows and integration requirements.
• Define and implement scalable, reusable build flow strategies for efficient SoC development.
• Automate integration and build processes to boost development productivity and ensure high-quality output.
• Identify, debug, and resolve issues related to build flows, integration, and tooling in a timely manner.
• Drive continuous improvement of SoC build and integration methodologies through innovation and feedback loops.
  
  

Required Skills and Experience :

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in digital hardware verification and SoC integration.
• Proficiency with industry-standard verification tools and methodologies, particularly SystemVerilog.
• Hands-on experience in developing and maintaining build and verification flows using Python.
• Familiarity with RTL simulation and build systems such as Make, CMake, and build farm environments.
• Solid understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD workflows.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills; comfortable working in a dynamic team environment.
  
  

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

• Experience with SoC-level build and integration flows, including flow optimization and maintenance.
• Solid understanding of industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys, Cadence, and Mentor.
• Exposure to design databases for storing, managing, and retrieving build logs and verification results.
• Familiarity with data representation formats such as YAML and JSON, and markup languages like XML and HTML.
• Understanding of Arm architecture, IP ecosystems, and system-level integration principles.
  
  

In Return:

You will get to utilise your engineering skills to build support for the technologies and influence millions of devices for years to come. You will have opportunities to drive and bring your ideas to a wider audience, while building your technical leadership and influencing skills.
