Search your pockets and pick up a device that is most likely flat, fits in your palm, and has a shiny glass surface. With the help of your phone, you can buy bus tickets, track work-out sessions, watch movies, play a game, or record your next social media video post. Arm provides the computational superpowers of the modern-day smartphone. Billions of users benefit from our technology every day, with a performance unheard of only a few years ago!

Our Arm designs power smartphones, self-driving cars, smart-watches, data-centres and just about any imaginable piece of electronics in the world. By joining our team in Trondheim, you may lean more about how we design our GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators and other world-class intellectual property!
