Senior Software Engineer

Job Overview

Help shape how the next generation of Arm chips are built!

The Solutions Engineering group at Arm is looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our UK methodology team, developing internal tools and methodologies that help engineers build and optimize complex silicon.

As Arm builds on the success of the recently released AGI CPU in production silicon, we are investing in software and automation that can make increasingly sophisticated chip development faster and more effective. This is an opportunity to apply strong software engineering skills to challenging problems with a direct impact on future Arm silicon!

The role sits at the intersection of software engineering and digital hardware design, with a particular focus on timing constraints, design analysis and silicon implementation methodology. The team collaborates with experienced silicon engineers across Solutions Engineering, turning complex domain problems into robust, maintainable software.

Deep VLSI experience is not essential. We are primarily looking for an excellent software engineer who is curious about digital hardware and interested in learning how modern processors and SoCs are designed.

Our team has a collaborative engineering culture built around technical curiosity, pragmatic solutions and constructive challenge.
