Job description

Are you passionate about writing? Does ground-breaking technology inspire you? Join Arm’s Information Developers and create content for IP that powers 95% of the world’s connected devices—from healthcare to smart homes to infrastructure.

We’re looking for an expert technical author to lead content projects, mentor teammates, and shape documentation for innovative System-on-Chip (SoC) designs across hardware and low-level software.

If you’re ready to blend leadership with technical excellence, and want your work to influence products used worldwide, we’d love to hear from you.

Job overview

Arm’s Solutions Engineering team delivers integrated hardware-software designs that help customers innovate and bring products to market faster.

Our Technical Communications team makes these solutions accessible through clear, impactful documentation. As a Staff Information Developer and People Lead, you’ll set content strategy, guide documentation from planning to release, and support teammates through mentoring and collaboration. You’ll play a central role in ensuring developers and partners can confidently integrate and deploy SoC-based solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor a small team of Information Developers.
• Oversee documentation for multiple IP, subsystem, and solution releases.
• Collaborate with engineers to collect and validate complex technical details.
• Plan and develop clear, user-focused documentation for SoC hardware and software.
• Support the establishment of scalable standards and the improvement of authoring tools and workflows to achieve content excellence across Arm documentation.

Key skills & competencies

• 5+ years experience in writing and leading complex documentation projects and people management.
• Inclusive, collaborative leadership style.
• Ability to manage content across projects and release cycles.
• Creative problem solver, flexible and pragmatic in approach.
• Clear communicator in multi-disciplinary teams.
• Eager to learn about new technologies and evolving documentation practices.

Nice to have

• Experience documenting SoC hardware/software (e.g., firmware, BSPs, boot flows, system configuration).
• Solid understanding of hardware design concepts (RTL/IP integration, chip bring-up, validation, FPGA prototyping).
• Familiarity with modern documentation workflows and tools (Markdown, Python, JSON/YAML, reuse and single-sourcing).
• A good degree or postgraduate qualification in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, Physics, Maths, English, Linguistics, or Law.

If you have many of these skills—and a drive to learn the rest—we encourage you to apply. We have some scope to adapt the role and job title to the right person.

In return

You’ll be part of an inclusive, supportive team that values your leadership and expertise. You’ll help shape documentation strategy for cutting-edge SoC solutions while enjoying hybrid work flexibility, competitive rewards, and opportunities to grow your influence across a global organisation.
