We work closely with the multi-disciplined engineering teams across Arm's European design centres, being in constant contact with both Software and Hardware engineers as well as Architects. We have a strong track record of building up expertise in people, so this is a phenomenal opportunity for learning new things in a friendly and collaborative environment. Join a multinational, multifaceted and highly motivated software development group with great work ethics where you will enjoy the support of your colleagues while being challenged by exciting technical problems. If you like producing high quality, high performance SW and solving sophisticated technical problems, then we would love to hear from you. What you will be involved with: Developing, maintaining and improving existing firmware codebase and design. You will gain an inside view of design and working of modern GPU hardware while adding new features to an evolving component. Your contributions will influence the implementation for billions of devices. Day to day activities would include: * Participating in all phases of development of the firmware including design, implementation, debugging, estimating and breaking down tasks, testing and documentation. * Performing design and code reviews for other team members. * Working closely with other HW and SW teams for interfacing and integrating with other components. * Helping hardware validation by writing firmware tests and debugging the expected hardware behaviour., Arm's approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team's needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution.
