Graduate ML Hardware Verification Engineer

Put programming skills to work on real hardware challenges! At Arm, we’re looking for graduates who enjoy writing code, understanding how digital systems work and investigating unexpected behaviour.

Our hardware verification team helps find design problems before they reach silicon. We work on neural accelerators for machine learning applications, combining software development with a detailed understanding of the hardware being tested.

What you could be doing as a Graduate?

Working with verification and design engineers across our international design centres, the role involves turning specifications into tests, developing simulation testbenches and investigating failures. We analyse coverage data to identify behaviour that still needs testing, then extend and refine our tests to explore it.

We also build tools and automation to improve our verification flows. Learning new techniques, trying out ideas and sharing what works are part of how we develop both our hardware and our ways of working.

We are looking for individuals who:

Applicants should hold, or be on track to hold, a university degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field by the programme start date.

• Enjoy programming and writing clear, reliable code.
• Are curious about digital hardware and keen to learn how to verify it.
• Enjoy investigating problems and working out how complex systems behave.
• Can explain ideas and findings clearly, in writing and in discussions with colleagues.

Qualities that will help your application stand out:

Experience from coursework, university projects or personal projects in the following areas would be useful:

• Digital hardware and a hardware description language.
• Object-oriented programming and software frameworks.
• Computer architecture.

Additional Information:

We encourage early applications as we review them on a first-come, first-served basis. Please provide an academic transcript along with your application.

Relocation support is available for domestic moves within the country and regional moves within Europe. Visa sponsorship support is also available for candidates who require it.

In Return:

You’ll receive a starting salary of SEK 545,000 (Bachelor level) or SEK 555,000 (Master level), alongside a comprehensive rewards package. As you develop in role, you’ll have clear opportunities to progress within the salary range at Arm. With mid-year and year-end reviews, you’ll have two formal progression windows each year, recognising your growth.

You can also attend our “Grad-teach-Grads” workshops, guest speaker series, and social events to expand your knowledge. If you’d like to get more involved, you can join the Graduate Committee to further develop your planning, networking, and coordination skills.

You’ll be invited to our Global Graduate Conference (GGC) - an annual event where graduates hear from executive leaders, guest speakers, and build lasting connections.

With many of our leaders and technical specialists having originally joined as a Graduate, will you be next?

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.

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 [email protected]. 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.
