Job description

As Arm-based computers continue to permeate into the IoT, cars, laptops, servers in the cloud and HPC, academic developers need to know how to get the best out of the comprehensive Arm ecosystem.

Job Overview:

The Arm Education and Academic Engagements team works with a wide range of both industrial and academic partners. We are now seeking an ecosystem development manager with experience in embedded systems, IoT, and academic engagements, to leverage partnerships at scale and enable successful projects. Our aim is to make it easier and more beneficial to work with energy efficient compute. You will join a diverse team with a strong user-centric ethos. We have specialists in publishing and program management working with academia, part of a group dedicated to engagement with developers more broadly.

You will tackle engineering challenges and develop a roadmap of products, services, and collateral that support software and hardware development communities. First and foremost, this role is about delivering influence at scale, working with the academic community, taking advantage of network effects whenever possible.

Responsibilities:

• Working with technical colleagues, program managers, ecosystem, and particularly academic partners globally to identify academic user needs.

• Lead by example and encourage others to write and maintain technical content and build technology demonstrators that help support the growth of the developer communities of interest.

Required skills and experience:

• A very good technical understanding and practical experience of embedded and IoT system development. Ecosystem and/or academic management experience in the technology sector.
• Strong abstract reasoning skills with an ability to focus on key concepts at all levels of detail.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills – able to convey technical material to a non-technical audience at different levels of seniority.
• Experience in technical writing and building technology demonstrators, as well as with managing and communicating with stakeholders at varying levels.
• Ability to work independently in addition to part of a distributed team.

'Nice to have' skills and experience:

• Experience in software-hardware co-design and optimizing software workloads for hardware, particularly Arm-based.
• Proven experience in building scalable interventions and platforms, which demonstrably deliver “more for less” and bridge the gap between academia and industry.

In Return:

We will help you settle into the business and support you to build great things and be your brilliant self! We believe in personal growth as well as professional development.

On top of that, we will provide:

• Mentoring and leadership.
• A competitive salary and rewards package.
