We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our SoC Post-Silicon Validation team.
JOB OVERVIEW
Are you interested in understanding how complex SoCs work and using software to find problems in real silicon?
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our SoC Post-Silicon Validation team. We use Linux and software as powerful tools to exercise, validate, and debug advanced SoCs used in Infrastructure and Data Center systems.
You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, where you can see the direct impact of the code you develop. We will give you opportunities to expand your knowledge of SoC architecture, Linux, system software, and silicon validation while working alongside experienced engineers.
If you enjoy debugging complex problems and learning how hardware and software work together, we would love to hear from you!
You will use Linux to validate SoC functionality, develop software and automated tests, analyze results, and investigate failures. You will work closely with design, firmware, software, and verification engineers to understand problems and contribute to their resolution.
We will encourage you to look beyond individual tests and help us improve our validation tools, automation, coverage, and ways of working. As your experience grows, you will have opportunities to take ownership of increasingly complex areas of SoC validation.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
We are looking for someone with around 2–3 years of experience in Linux, embedded software, firmware, system software, validation, or a related area.
You should have experience programming in C/C++, Assembly and using Python or shell scripting, together with an understanding of computer architecture and operating system fundamentals. Experience using Linux for development, testing, or debugging will help you get started quickly.
Most importantly, we value curiosity, analytical thinking, collaboration, and an interest in understanding how complex systems work.
“NICE TO HAVE” SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
You may already have exposure to areas such as SoC validation, silicon bring-up, Linux kernel or device drivers, CPU and memory systems, PCIe, interrupts, SoC interconnects.
You do not need experience in all these areas. We are interested in what you can bring to the team and what you would like to learn next.
IN RETURN
We will support you as you build expertise across Linux, system software, computer architecture, silicon validation, and hardware/software debugging.
You will have opportunities to learn from experienced engineers, work with advanced SoCs, contribute to real product development, and grow your technical skills and career. We offer a collaborative environment where we share knowledge, learn from each other, and solve challenging engineering problems together.
We also offer a competitive benefits package designed to support your wellbeing, professional development, and work-life harmony. Specific benefits may vary by location.
We want our recruitment process to be accessible to everyone. If you need reasonable accommodations or adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know, and we will work with you to provide appropriate support.
Interested in using software to explore what is happening inside a complex SoC? We would like to hear from you!

Use of AI in Your Application
At Arm, we embrace the benefits AI can bring, including in recruitment. You may use AI to support your preparation, such as improving the clarity of written responses, practicing interview questions, or learning more about our industry. However, your application and interview responses must reflect your own thinking, experience, and abilities. We want to understand your authentic perspective, creativity, and approach to problem solving. As such, you may not use AI to complete assigned tasks as part of any assessments. If you plan to use AI-supported or assistive technologies as part of a reasonable adjustment, please contact accommodations@arm.com so we can support you.
Recruitment Adjustments and Accommodations
At Arm, we want to build extraordinary teams. If you need an adjustment or an accommodation during the recruitment process, please email accommodations@arm.com. To note, by sending us the requested information, you consent to its use by Arm to arrange for appropriate accommodations. All accommodation or adjustment requests will be treated with confidentiality, and information concerning these requests will only be disclosed as necessary to provide the accommodation. Although this is not an exhaustive list, examples of support include breaks between interviews, having documents read aloud, or office accessibility. Please email us about anything we can do to accommodate you during the recruitment process.
Hybrid Working
Arm’s approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team’s needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
