Staff Software Engineer - QA

The Software (CE-SW) group is responsible for developing and improving the software ecosystem around Arm’s next generation architectures and systems. Work on next-generation Arm-based SoC innovation shaping the performance, efficiency, and reliability of future computing platforms.

This means working with processors and other hardware technology not yet available to the public. You will join a team of Software Engineers who share a passion for leaving their mark on the future of computing.

Job Overview:

This role combines hands-on technical leadership with responsibility for leading and developing a team of QA engineers delivering complex software for our cloud and data center products.

You will provide technical direction to the team, develop engineering capability and drive effective delivery across SoC, firmware and system software., 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. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
