About the Role
Arm’s Systems Engineering team delivers hardware designs for Arm System IP – a family of interconnect, memory, and system-level components that enable the efficient integration of Arm processors and other IP blocks into SoCs (Systems on Chip).

You’ll deliver impactful content to enable our partners to harness the full potential of our products while also fostering mentorship and people leadership. This role balances documentation excellence with influence over product milestones and customer success initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Plan, develop, and maintain clear, user-centric documentation for System IP hardware designs and the IP Tooling platform software
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to capture, validate, and refine complex technical information
- Manage multiple documentation tracks across concurrent IP projects, ensuring timely delivery and accuracy
- Lead and mentor other Information Developers, supervising content planning, review, and production processes
- Define and implement scalable documentation standards, including structures, templates, and review workflows
- Drive innovation in authoring tools and workflows to enhance efficiency and quality
- Advocate for content excellence, shaping documentation strategy for System IP projects and influencing the broader Technical Communications group
