ARM – Company Profile

If you have just used a mobile phone, handheld personal organiser or MP3 player, chances are you have just used an ARM powered product. Our technology is at the heart of a wide range of digital products for use at home, work or on the move.

ARM is the world's leading semiconductor intellectual property (IP) supplier and as such is at the heart of the development of digital electronic products. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, ARM has grown phenomenally over the recent decade and now stands with over 2000 employees across the world. This allows us to create a dynamic spectrum of career paths and opportunities, where personal development through training and internal transfers is positively encouraged. ARM has offices around the world, including design centres in France, India, Sweden, and the US.

The ARM business model involves the designing and licensing of IP rather than the manufacturing and selling of actual semiconductor chips. We licence IP to a network of Partners, which includes the world's leading semiconductor and systems companies. These Partners utilize ARM IP designs to create and manufacture system-on-chip designs, paying ARM a license fee for the original IP and a royalty on every chip or wafer produced. In addition to processor IP, we provide a range of tools, physical and systems IP to enable optimized system-on-chip designs.

ARM has a distinct culture that is based on global collaboration and teamwork. The values of Teamwork and Selflessness, Innovation, Personal Development, Delivery, Constructive Pro-activity, Customer and Partner Focus and Responsiveness are all mutually supportive of an environment that is conducive to innovation at every level. The culture is open and meritocratic where everyone can make a real difference to the business. Above all, we promote an organisation where we balance hard-work and fun.

In 2012 ARM are looking to recruit Graduates, Industrial Placement Students and Summer Placement Students across the world. In the UK the majority of the vacancies will be for Software and Hardware Engineers, Research and Development and IT in Cambridge, Sheffield and Blackburn.
