From Stars to Silicon: Amy Hewitt's Career Between Astrophysics PhD and Arm Internship

Meet Amy Hewitt, an Astrophysics PhD student and Arm Intern.

Here at Arm, we pride ourselves on our ability to nurture our employees’ skills and talents from the very beginning of their careers. Arm’s amazing graduate and intern programs mean you get to kickstart your career with some of the most innovative teams in the world – but don’t just take it from us. Hear from some of our newest graduates and interns who also believe Arm stands out from the crowd.

Why did you choose to join Arm?

I found out about Arm on LinkedIn, and it seemed to have unique roles that offered an exciting change to what I was used to. The community feel at Arm and their collaboration globally was a big selling point for internships.

What were your first impressions of Arm?

It has all been very impressive. When I first joined, everyone was so helpful and really pointed me in the right direction. New ideas are constantly flowing through the teams. I just felt as though I could and can still talk to anyone about anything. The Cambridge office is amazing as well! The workspaces are unlike anything I’ve seen, and the food selection caters to vegetarians which is a bonus.

How does it feel to contribute to the development of such cutting-edge technology?

As an intern, I feel as though you build such a level of trust with your team and it has been non-stop learning, either through work or through training courses. I’ve only worked at ARM for a number of months and already my work can be seen on the ARM website which is really exciting. Whenever I think about my future now, Arm is very much in that picture.
