Engineering is at the heart of everything Arm does as a company. From our IP and architecture designs right through to new technology and Machine Learning (ML) solutions where we are mapping the future of computing, our engineering teams cover a diverse range of processor technologies that are used by 70 percent of the world’s population.
To ensure that Arm remains the leading provider of processor IP, we are committed to expanding our engineering teams globally. Arm employs around 6,000 people worldwide, with 13 primary engineering sites including two new additions – Bristol in the UK and Oslo, the capital of Norway. The opening of the Bristol and Oslo offices signal Arm’s commitment to attracting the world’s very best engineers, with both locations brimming with engineering talent.
Welcome to Bristol
Bristol, the largest city in the South West of England, is frequently selected as one of the best places to live in the UK. It is also an area consisting of many engineers with the right skillsets to expand Arm’s engineering teams. The University of Bristol, one of the leading universities in the UK, is known for its hardware design and verification-related courses. In fact, Arm has a close relationship with Simon McIntosh-Smith, Professor in High Performance Computing at the University, who we worked with developing the Arm-based Isambard supercomputer, which is being used by researchers, forecasters and development companies to analyze real-world scientific data.
Through Arm’s existing primary UK sites in Cambridge, Manchester and Sheffield, we have already had significant success attracting graduate Bristol engineers to work for Arm. However, the new Bristol office will help to recruit those who wish to remain in the city.
A broad range of Bristol-based engineering roles
The engineering work and recruitment opportunities in Bristol span all experience levels and cover Arm’s Cortex-A CPUs, System IP, Central Technology and Solutions Engineering.
Arm’s Cortex-A CPUs remain at the heart of our CPU designs, with the engineering expansion in Bristol partially intended to satisfy our partners’ high demand for this IP. Engineers based in our Bristol office will work with Arm’s HQ in Cambridge on the Cortex-A CPUs targeting the infrastructure, automotive and consumer technology markets.
Arm’s System IP enables our partners to build best-in-class compute systems, such as those that are integrated into our Total Compute Solutions for consumer tech markets. The System IP engineers based in Bristol will be working on the delivery of Arm’s interconnect and SMMU technologies to automotive, consumer tech, infrastructure and IoT markets. This will also involve the development of Arm’s functional safety features that are vital components of automotive and IoT applications.
Arm’s Central Technology Solutions team identifies and develops a pipeline of innovative product technology. The team is at the cutting edge of Arm’s future IP designs, with Central Technology engineers influencing the next generation of computing on Arm-based devices. Recruits to the Bristol office in this team will focus on analyzing the performance and power of these new technologies, from early concept to deployment in silicon.
Finally, Arm’s new Solutions Engineering team is focused on developing and accelerating our technology in line with market needs, creating best-in-class solutions built on Arm. This work includes delivering complete subsystem solutions for our partners, and working on test chips that are designed to explore optimal implementations of Arm IP. The Bristol office job openings in this team will focus on developing subsystems and testchip silicon based on Arm’s Total Compute Solutions to demonstrate their PPA benefits, and require engineers with a deep understanding of system and physical design challenges.
If you’re an engineer and interested in joining the Bristol office, we will be hosting a virtual discovery day on 22nd May which you can join through this link.
