Research Internship 2021 - Enablement

Arm plays a key role in our increasingly connected world. Every year, more than 20 billion products featuring Arm technology are shipped.  Our engineers design and develop CPUs, graphics processors, complex system technologies, supporting software development tools, and physical libraries.

At Arm Research, we develop new technology that can grow into new business opportunities. We keep Arm up to speed with recent technological developments by pursuing blue-sky research programmes, collaborating with academia, and integrating emerging technologies into the wider Arm ecosystem.  Our research activities cover a wide range of fields from mobile and personal computing to server, cloud, and HPC computing. Our work and our researchers span a diverse range from circuits to theoretical computer science. We all share a passion for learning and creating.

The role

We are looking for an intern to join our strategic engagement team; we want to hear from candidates interested in delivering novel solutions to complex problems and deploying them to aid academia and research. The strategic engagement team covers engagements with Tier 1 universities and research organisations:

• Delivering broad portfolio of Arm technology to enable academic research 
• Developing research collateral and kits to accelerate research and reduce development time. 
• Working with partners on government funded research projects coving everything from methodology, automation and security to IP research and development. 

What will I be accountable for? 

The successful intern will be expanding arm systems with ML accelerators using RTL, then performing integration testing before porting to FPGA or emulation to allow Linux boot to allow object detection applications to be run. This activity feeds into ongoing research activity to measure power, performance, area and security for different system configurations.

Education 

Our interns typically pursue Masters or PhD degrees in engineering and science, most commonly Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics, but we encourage applications from any field of study if you are motivated and feel your unique skills are relevant to what we do. 
We will also consider your application if you are pursuing an undergraduate or bachelor's degree and have relevant project or work experience. 

Skills and Experience 

• You have strong problem-solving abilities 
• You have a keen interest in system design 
• You have experience using FPGA or emulation  
• You are keen to learn new EDA tools and techniques 
• You want to collaborate and participate in the research community 

Our internships and how to apply 

We invite you to apply for an internship if your research interests align with ours and are enthusiastic about the type of work we do. As a modelling intern, you will get a first-hand view of how Arm crafts its technology and maintains an ecosystem of more than one thousand partners that have shipped over 170 billion leading-edge Arm-powered processors. You will work closely with the modelling team to develop an internship project that is aligned with your interests. Our internships are three months long with flexible start dates. We offer continuous support, feedback, and development opportunities as well as flexibility to decide how to complete project tasks.

You will work alongside experienced modelling engineers within a specific team and also the wider research group doing real project tasks. We believe in developing talent for the future, so we seek to offer many of our interns a graduate position once they have finished their studies.

Please provide a cover note with your application; include some information about what you are interested in and the kind of projects you would like to work on. If you have a clear idea about the work you want to do, include it in your letter. It is okay not to be 100% sure! Tell us about your studies and what you enjoy, and we will try to find the right fit for you.
