Are you passionate about writing and excited by ground-breaking technology?
At Arm, our Information Developers do more than just document—they drive clarity and precision at the core of world-changing innovation. We’re looking for a Staff Technical Author to lead both people and complex documentation programs in our Tech Comms Solutions team. In this high-impact role, you will manage and mentor a small team of talented writers while also shaping the documentation for innovative System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, spanning hardware and low-level software components.
Arm IP powers 95% of the world’s connected devices—from healthcare to infrastructure, smart homes to space tech. Your work will support multiple concurrent releases of complex silicon IP and system-level platforms, enabling engineers and partners worldwide to integrate, configure, and deploy SoC-based solutions with confidence. If you’re ready to combine leadership with technical excellence, and you thrive in an environment where your content influences thousands of products across hundreds of industries, we’d love to hear from you.
Job overview
Arm’s Solutions Engineering team delivers integrated hardware-software designs that accelerate real-world product development. From silicon-ready platforms to full software stacks, these solutions help customers validate early and get to market faster. Our Solutions Technical Communications team plays a key role by producing the documentation and guidance that bring these platforms to life. As part of the wider Tech Comms group, we also develop content infrastructure and tools to ensure users get the information they need—when and how they need it.
As a Staff Technical Writer, you’ll serve as a senior technical leader within the team, owning content strategy for Systems projects and guiding documentation from planning through delivery. Alongside creating impactful developer-focused content, you’ll also provide mentorship and people leadership—shaping both your own growth and that of your teammates while driving the documentation that supports key silicon milestones and customer success.
Responsibilities
- Plan, develop, and maintain clear, user-centric documentation for SoC-level hardware and software components.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to extract and validate complex technical information.
- Manage multiple documentation tracks across concurrent IP, subsystem, and solution releases.
- Lead and mentor other Information Developers, overseeing content planning and delivery.
- Define and implement scalable documentation standards, structures, and review processes.
- Drive innovation in authoring tools and workflows to improve efficiency and quality.
- Advocate for content excellence and influence documentation strategy across Systems projects and the wider Tech Comms group.
Key skills and competencies
- Experienced information developer with 4+ years writing and managing complex documentation sets.
- Open-minded people leader with a collaborative, inclusive working style.
- Demonstrated ability to coordinate content across multiple projects and release cycles.
- Strong problem-solving skills; flexible, pragmatic.
- Excellent communicator and organizer in multi-disciplinary environments.
- Passionate about learning emerging technologies and evolving documentation standards.
- Proficient in industry-standard tools with a focus on scalable, efficient content delivery.
Nice to have
- Proven experience documenting low-level software and/or hardware in a SoC, semiconductor, or embedded systems environment (e.g., firmware, BSPs, boot flows, system configuration).
- Solid understanding of hardware design concepts, such as RTL/IP integration, chip bring-up, validation workflows, or FPGA prototyping.
- Exposure to modern documentation toolchains and automation practices (e.g., Markdown or reStructuredText, Jenkins, JSON/YAML, Python, or shift-left content generation).
- A good degree or postgraduate qualification in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, Physics, Maths, English, Linguistics, or Law.
You don’t need every skill listed—just a strong foundation and curiosity to learn the rest. We can shape the role for the right person, so if you're interested but unsure, we’d still love for you to apply!
In return
You’ll be part of an inclusive team focused on continual improvement, where your leadership and expertise are truly valued. You’ll help shape documentation strategy and people development for ground-breaking SoC solutions, while enjoying flexible hybrid work, competitive rewards, and the chance to grow your influence across a global organisation that champions innovation and continuous development
