Role Mission

Arm is helping shape the future of AI and compute, from cloud and edge infrastructure to embedded systems, connected devices, and Arm-based silicon.

Arm Workforce Development builds technical capability across markets, partners, and institutions working with Arm-based technologies.

We are looking for a Staff Applied SoC & Hardware Engineer, Workforce Development to turn Arm-based SoC, hardware, computer architecture, and AI compute concepts into practical technical assets, applied labs, and engineering activities.

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who can make complex hardware and systems concepts usable, credible, and delivery-ready across Workforce Development programs.

Strong working knowledge of Arm technologies is required. You will work with Arm-based technical assets, tools, platforms, and development environments, and will be expected to contribute confidently from the outset.

What you’ll do

  • Deliver and support Workforce Development programs focused on Arm-based SoC, computer architecture, AI hardware, embedded systems, and hardware-software co-design.

  • Prepare, test, and adapt technical content, labs, demos, setup guides, and practical exercises from defined technical pathways.

  • Troubleshoot issues across lab environments, tools, platforms, hardware-software interfaces, and participant setup.

  • Work with engineering teams, technical specialists, product colleagues, partners, and institutions to clarify requirements, dependencies, and delivery risks.

  • Escalate complex technical issues where deeper Arm or specialist expertise is needed.

  • Improve content, labs, assets, and delivery assumptions based on practical experience, while maintaining consistent technical quality across programs.

What you’ll bring

  • Strong working knowledge of Arm technologies, tools, platforms, or development environments, with the ability to contribute confidently to Arm-based technical delivery from the outset.

  • Strong technical grounding in Arm-based systems, computer architecture, SoC concepts, embedded systems, AI hardware, hardware-software co-design, or related domains.

  • Experience preparing, delivering, or supporting technical content, applied labs, demos, engineering projects, hands-on technical programs, or partner-facing technical activity.

  • Practical understanding of hardware and systems workflows, such as FPGA prototyping, simulation, debugging, toolchains, lab environments, verification concepts, or platform setup.

  • Ability to turn technical concepts into clear lab steps, setup guidance, applied exercises, or delivery-ready technical assets.

  • Strong troubleshooting skills and comfort working through ambiguity during preparation and delivery.

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical topics clearly to varied technical audiences.

  • Ability to work independently on hands-on technical tasks while collaborating with a wider team.

  • Degree in a relevant subject such as Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Systems Engineering, or equivalent technical experience.

Desirable experience

  • Experience with Arm IP, Cortex processors, CMSIS, Keil, Corstone, Arm development tools, Arm-based platforms, or other Arm ecosystem technologies.

  • Experience in SoC design, FPGA prototyping, RTL or verification concepts, EDA flows, silicon bring-up, AI hardware, embedded AI, or computer architecture.

  • Experience with hardware-software co-design, platform software, firmware, RTOS, Linux, toolchains, debugging, profiling, or performance analysis.

  • Experience supporting technical activity across multiple partners, institutions, regions, or applied delivery settings.

  • Experience improving labs, demos, technical assets, setup guides, readiness checks, or partner-facing technical resources.

Location and travel

This is a global role with international travel based on partner engagement, technical activity, and program needs.
