Graphics Engineer

Job ID 2020-3449 Date posted Jun. 16, 2026 Location Cambridge, United Kingdom Category Software Engineering Apply

Job Overview:

We are looking for someone to join our team to investigate new GPU technologies across graphics, compute, and machine learning, and how these apply to Arm GPUs and Arm-based systems.

Arm's Central Technology organisation is responsible for early development and selection of technology to keep Arm's products redefining the state-of-the-art. Are you passionate about the future of graphics and GPUs such as ray tracing and neural graphics? If yes, join us and help drive it forward!

Early stage prototyping can require a diverse set of abilities and so the role favors applicants with a broad knowledge of GPUs, compute, and software development skills. We typically do technology development collaboratively in small groups that help define direction, share ideas, and develop prototypes.

Responsibilities:

The key responsibilities include analysing, prototyping and quantifying improvements to mobile graphics on Arm GPUs, including the implications for hardware design, software architecture, and APIs.

Required Skills and Experience :

  • Understanding of modern GPUs and use-cases. You should have awareness of recent developments and demonstrated interest in learning more about these industry trends and the technical drivers shaping future GPU architectures.
  • Hands-on experience using one or more of Vulkan, DirectX, or Metal APIs. You know at least one API well enough to be annoyed at its limitations.
  • C++ development experience and knowledge of common development tools (e.g. version control systems).
  • You are self-motivated and ambitious, and have the ability to work as part of a team and to network across teams.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, distilling and engaging wide ranging audiences in discussion on complex technical subjects

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

In a creative environment, a broad range of interests and experience can bring new insight. We are keen to see candidates with interests that don't match our own, and to allow the best ideas to flourish.

In Return:

With offices around the world, Arm is a diverse organisation of dedicated, innovative and hardworking professionals. By enabling a vibrant, inclusive, meritocratic, and open workplace, all our people can grow and succeed while contributing to Arm's success. The more we can grow as a team, the more we will achieve.

We offer a hybrid approach to home and office working to provide an adaptable experience for all employees. We expect some working time to be spent in office, to promote a strong collaborative environment with good team integration but are accommodating to different home working requirements.

On top of this, we offer an excellent benefits package including salary, competitive bonus, RSUs and healthcare support!

Please note this role does not meet the eligibility requirements for sponsorship, and therefore the successful candidate must have the right to work in the UK without relying on sponsorship by Arm.
