Job description

Arm technology powers billions of devices, and our goal is to find students who want to help build what comes next. Our intern programme would suit candidates with interest across engineering — from the hardware inside the chip to the software and tools that bring it to life.

What You Could Be Doing

• Designing hardware — the logic, circuits and physical design inside Arm technology
• Proving designs work, through simulation, test and validation
• Modelling how systems perform, and balancing speed against power
• Building and optimising machine-learning models and the software behind them
• Writing the firmware, drivers, compilers and tools our engineers rely on
• Help shape and deliver technical products and programs through strategy, data, planning, customer insights and cross-functional coordination.
• Helping partners and developers around the world build with Arm

We Are Looking for Individuals Who

• Are currently enrolled and studying towards a degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Maths or another relevant subject.
• Are motivated by technology, problem-solving, collaboration and continuous learning.
• Built, tested, analysed, improved or debugged something technical.
• Relevant experience can come from coursework, labs, research, personal projects, hackathons, student organizations, previous internships or other hands-on work.

Qualities That Will Help Your Application Stand Out

Experience in every area isn't expected. We're interested in examples of:

• Building, testing, debugging, analysing, modelling or improving something technical.
• Applying programming, hardware, AI/ML, data, simulation or other engineering tools.
• Solving problems, learning new technology and collaborating effectively with others.

Additional Information

As part of your application, we’ll ask you a few questions about your interests and experience, including what you’ve worked on and the tools and technologies you’ve used. We’ll review this alongside your CV to help find opportunities that best match the interest you shared with requirements for the job.

Arm internships require you to be currently enrolled in a college or university degree program and returning to your studies after completing your internship.

Our internships are based across our UK locations in Cambridge, Bristol, Manchester and Sheffield, with 3, 6 and 12-month opportunities available depending on the role and location.

Please note we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must have the right to work in the country where the internship is based, without relying on sponsorship by Arm, for the full duration of the internship.

Application Closing Date: 31st October 2026

We aim to review all applications no later than two weeks after the closing date. In peak periods there may be exceptions beyond this timeframe. We will do our best to keep you informed.

In Return

Working on interesting new projects with leaders in the field is exciting, but we also know how important it is to receive support. That's why throughout your internship, you can expect regular feedback and development opportunities, social activities to connect with your peers, an end of internship celebration, plus the opportunity to be considered for future Graduate positions (subject to performance). #getreadytogrow

In addition to a competitive salary, our on-the-job learning and mentoring/buddy schemes provide unparalleled learning and networking opportunities from the best in the industry.
