As Arm-based computers continue to permeate into the IoT, cars, laptops, servers in the cloud and HPC, academic developers need to know how to get the best out of the comprehensive Arm ecosystem.
Job Overview
The Arm Education and Academic Engagements team works with a wide range of both industrial and academic partners. We are now seeking an ecosystem development manager with experience in embedded systems, SoC deployment and academic engagements, to leverage partnerships at scale and enable successful projects. Our aim is to make it easier and more beneficial to work with energy efficient compute. You will join a diverse team with a strong user-centric ethos. We have specialists in publishing and program management working with academia, part of a group dedicated to engagement with developers more broadly.
You will tackle engineering challenges and develop a roadmap of products, services and collateral that support software and hardware development communities. First and foremost, this role is about delivering influence at scale, working with the academic community, taking advantage of network effects whenever possible.
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.
