Job description

Overview

We work in small to medium-sized teams with most following modern Agile principles. Engineers share ideas and add to the ideas of others, document and present their work for discussion, and review and support the efforts of others, whilst sharing their findings impartially and authoritatively. In your role, you will be introduced to the teams, our ways of working, be treated like any other engineer on the team and supported by experienced engineers.

What You Could Be Doing As a Hardware Graduate

Your day-to-day work will depend on your team, but may include:

• Work on the specification and development of pre-silicon verification plans.
• Training and development in the latest modern verification techniques.
• Perform workload characterization to identify power/performance bottlenecks and to propose solutions.
• Creating enablement materials and proof-of-concepts for Arm's partners.
• Collaborating in small, agile teams where ideas are shared openly and engineers support one another's development.

You'll be supported by mentors and teammates who will help you learn, grow, and build your career at Arm. With many of our leaders and technical specialists having originally joined as a Graduate, will you be next? Our 10x mindset guides how we engineer, collaborate, and grow.

Hybrid Working

Arm's approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility.

Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
