Job description

At Arm, we’re in a pivotal moment. As AI reshapes every major industry, from the largest data centers to the smallest personal devices, our mission is clear: to help solve some of the world’s greatest challenges through technology that reaches everyone.

The future of AI is being built on Arm. And our 10x Mindset is helping shape that future. The10xMindsetis how we frame our work for greater impact. It’s not about doing more or working harder. It’s about thinking differently, acting decisively and building in a way that scales;for our customers, our teams and our global ecosystem.

It’s inspired by a founder’s mentality. We ask bold questions, spot opportunities others might miss and stay focused on delivering outcomes that matter. Whether we’re reimagining architectures or rethinking collaboration across time zones, thismindsethelps us move forward with clarity and purpose.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to shape the future of technology and help create something the world has never seen before.”

Toby Proctor

Staff Hardware Engineer, GPU Design

High Challenge. High Support.

We believe that meaningful progress comes from balancing high expectations with real trust and support. When people feel safe to challenge ideas skillfully and take ownership of their work, extraordinary results follow.

“Having a10xmindsetmeans looking for practical ways to make a bigger, faster impact, whether by improving a process, simplifying a design or helping the team move faster,” explains Toby.

His team operates in a fast-moving environment, with new features, performance improvements and complex design challenges always on the table.

“What’s most rewarding about working at Arm are the difficult engineering challenges you face every day. It really pushes you as an engineer, and Arm’s supportive environment means people are always willing to share ideas and learn as a team.”

For Chris, a Principal Software Engineer based in Manchester, the samemindsetshows up in software development — with a strong focus on clarity, reuse and long-term resilience.

“What really excites me is seeing how quickly the driver evolves to meet new market demands and how that directly shapes the future of graphics and compute on so many different devices.”

Chris’s team works across diverse platforms, supporting different operating systems, hypervisors and boards, and is always looking to improve code quality while delivering solutions that endure.

“It is the variety of complex, meaningful projects that makes working at Arm so rewarding. I get to dive deep into both software and hardware, and there is always something new to learn.”

This approach requires deep curiosity, a focus on simplicity, and a willingness to optimise how we work, not just what we deliver.

One Arm. One Vision.

The10xMindsetalso shapes how we collaborate. We call it One Arm, a culture where individual contributions add up to something far greater, and every team operates with shared responsibility for impact.

“Our technical content is the bridge between the brilliant work of our engineers and the needs of our customers,” says George, who leads a global team producing technical documentation for Arm’s IP products.

“Our mission is to enable them to succeed in addressing their challenges and achieve their goals as efficiently and effectively as possible."

For George, collaboration is not just how work gets done, it’s what makes Arm different.

“Over the years, I have seen great camaraderie and genuine interest among colleagues time and time again. The culture of collaboration at Arm not only drives our success as a business, it makes it a great company to work for.”

Chris agrees. For him, it’s the global nature of the work and the range of perspectives it brings that makes the impact even stronger.

“What makes it even more rewarding is the chance to work closely with skilled engineers from around the world, all bringing different perspectives and a shared passion for tackling technical challenges.”

Whether we’re supporting each other, making tough decisions in ambiguity, or simplifying how we build — we act as one team and own the results together.

Shaping the Future, Together

The future of computing is moving quickly, from AI at the edge to advances in chiplet design and heterogeneous compute. At Arm, we’re not just adapting, we’re helping define what comes next.

With AI-first solutions, a resilient global ecosystem and architectures built for efficiency and scale, we’re focused on impact that lasts. The10xMindsethelps us challenge convention and push boundaries with purpose.

“Stay curious and be open to learning every day,” is Toby’s advice to the next generation of engineers.

“Focus on solving real problems in simple, practical ways — that is where meaningful impact comes from.”

Thismindsetis embedded in everything we do, from rooting out inefficiencies in process to working for people who are really passionate about the work they do, every single day.

This is your moment

At Arm, the work isn’t pre-written. The future is still being built and your ideas could shape it.
