Principal Software Engineer - Accelerator Tools-Engineering

Central Technology Team – Machine Learning Hardware Architecture Tool Developer

The Central Technology Team within Arm develops key technologies that will form the foundation of future products.

You will join a multinational, multifaceted, collaborative, and highly motivated Machine Learning Hardware Architecture team in Central Technology to help craft the direction of Machine Learning in Arm IP designs.


Job Overview

You will work on a team that enables the capabilities of Arm's machine learning accelerators by creating tools that push the limits of the architecture. These tools are used across the architecture group to demonstrate that proposed features are suitable for implementation and can be unlocked by software teams.


Responsibilities

  • Develop tools that expose proposed hardware features and evaluate the resulting performance.
  • Work with hardware architects to define the software interfaces to new features.

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.
