Do you want to help shape the next generation of connected embedded devices and solutions? In the Central Technology Systems Group, we have a diverse set of engineers covering all aspects of SoC system architecture.

You will have the opportunity to make high-impact changes daily by solving challenging technical problems in next generation connected embedded devices! You will solve ambitious development work to help kickstart projects, run sophisticated proof-of-concepts, and be a technical leader.

Responsibilities

  • Engage with engineering leadership and product planning teams to develop technology roadmap.
  • Translate technology requirements into platform architecture, encompassing hardware, software, tools and other components.
  • Work across Arm’s architecture and core technology teams to develop parts of the architecture platforms and technology feature development supporting the needs of Arm based embedded device SoCs.
  • Take charge of a number of areas of the system Architecture. Working under the direction of an Architecture Lead and across hardware, software, and platform groups, to propose and evaluate architecture concept, internal and external IP features.
  • Generate high quality technical content for internal and customer meetings, on areas of responsibility, appropriately incorporating feedback.
  • Collaborative authoring of high level architecture specifications to enable engineering teams to craft and verify platforms addressing the embedded device market segments. These platforms are primarily centred on our Cortex-A CPUs and Mali GPUs, and have other IPs like Cortex-M CPUs in support roles.
  • Design experiments and analyses to answer architectural questions, and invent, develop, or drive the development of simulators, models, profilers, and other methods and tools as necessary to implement the analyses.
  • Communicate results and technical concepts clearly and credibly across audiences ranging from individual hardware or software development engineers to architecture community peers, and to high level technology and business leadership.

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.
