  • Knowledge or experience with DDR memory sub-systems.
  • Programming languages such as assembly language (ideally Arm assembler), higher-level languages like C++.
  • Experience working in a UNIX environment and shell programming/scripting using languages like Tcl, Perl, Python.

About the Role:

This is a challenging opportunity to lead a team and contribute to the success of Arm Limited. If you have a passion for FPGA engineering and leadership, we encourage you to apply.
