Arm is seeking highly skilled and motivated engineers to join our Agile driver development team producing key components for the next generation Mali™ products! 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.

Job Overview

You will support in the design, development, and evolution of critical tooling that supports the full lifecycle of Arm’s GPU development—from early hardware design and performance modelling to final verification. This role provides a rare opportunity to shape the tools underpinning the world’s most pervasive GPU technology. You’ll have ownership over sophisticated software systems that sit at the intersection of GPU hardware, driver stacks, performance modelling, and real-time dataflow analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Supporting with the design and implementation of robust, scalable tooling that enables GPU driver development and hardware bring-up.
  • Involvement in technical discussions, breaking down sophisticated problems, and identifying the right trade-offs across multiple diverse partners.
  • Reviewing design and code, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality integration.
  • Building a deep understanding of system-level requirements and influencing roadmap planning through technical insight.
  • Collaborating across SW and HW teams to deliver solutions that are both innovative and practical.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Demonstrated technical proficiency in complex software projects, ideally in systems or embedded development.
  • Proven expertise in C/C++ programming with a strong grasp of software engineering principles.
  • Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and performance profiling skills.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across organisational boundaries.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

  • Proficiency in Python or scripting for automation or tooling glue code.
  • Solid understanding of computer architecture, particularly embedded or SoC systems.
  • Insight into the workings of the GPU graphics pipeline.
  • Familiarity with Linux kernel/user space interfaces and debugging tools (perf, tracepoints, etc.).

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
