FPGA Intern

Search your pockets and pick up a device that most likely is flat, fits in your palm, and has a shiny glass surface. With the help of this device, you can buy bus tickets, track work-out sessions, watch movies, play a game, or record your next social media dance video post. Arm provides the compute superpowers of the modern-day smartphone. Billions of users benefit from our technology every day, with a performance unheard of only a few years ago!

If you are interested in learning more about how we in Arm design our GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators and other world-class IP that powers smartphones, self-driving cars, smart-watches, data-centres and just about any piece of electronics in the world, then you should consider joining the team in Trondheim!

In 2006 Arm acquired Falanx, a small Norwegian start-up developing Graphics Processing Units. The team now counts 200 employees from more than 30 different nationalities. We are based in Trondheim, the beautiful technological capitol of Norway. Here the team is combining hiking, skiing, and trips on the fjord with developing Mali, the world's most shipped GPU.

Would you like to work in an inclusive and multi-cultural environment? Are you creative and passionate about new technologies? If so, we would love to hear from you!

This internship begins in June 2027 for approximately 10 weeks.

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 [email protected] so we can support you.

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.
