Fantastic Opportunity for a Staff Software Engineer to work in the Architecture & Technology Group at Arm's Headquarters in Cambridge
This is an opportunity for an experienced engineer to contribute to the core development and publication environment for the Arm architecture which is used in billions of Arm CPUs!
We are looking to evolve how we develop, validate, and publish architecture to improve correctness, quality, efficiency in production and enablement of the ecosystem, as well as downstream teams. If you want to work across engineering teams to provide engineering solutions that multiply to enable others, then this can be ideal for you!
Through your involvement in the Infrastructure Tooling team, you will be interacting with and influencing many parts of Arm. We work closely with architecture product owners, technical leads, engineering teams and technical writers to understand, develop, document, and publish Arm architecture.
