We are responsible for the roadmap and vision for our software development, configuration, optimization, plus productisation and delivery activities. We develop strategies around new and existing software components to support Arms products.

We gather use-cases and requirements for how software solutions can fulfil the needs of complex systems. We engage with open-source communities and communicate the opportunities of open-source software. We create product plans to ensure Arms software solution products are successfully deployed to our partners across multiple market segments. Our knowledge of software communities, development practices and release methodologies enable us to match the lifecycle of our hardware products to build and deliver complete product solutions.

We work closely with Project Managers, Architects, Engineering Leads and Product Managers internal and external to Arm. Together, we collaborate to deliver the best software for Arms technology and communicate its value to the world!

Responsibilities:
● Evaluate the complete value chain of end customers, manufacturers, and designers of hardware, software, and systems. This includes productisation, support and quality assurance relating to what we deliver to those customers.

Part-Time Study Routes That Lead to Machine Learning Jobs: Evening Courses, Bootcamps & Online Masters

Machine learning—a subset of artificial intelligence—enables computers to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. From predictive maintenance in manufacturing to recommendation engines in e-commerce and diagnostic tools in healthcare, machine learning (ML) underpins many of today’s most innovative applications. In the UK, demand for ML professionals—engineers, data scientists, research scientists and ML operations specialists—is growing rapidly, with roles projected to increase by over 50% in the next five years. However, many aspiring ML practitioners cannot step away from work or personal commitments for full-time study. Thankfully, a rich ecosystem of part-time learning pathways—Evening Courses, Intensive Bootcamps and Flexible Online Master’s Programmes—empowers you to learn machine learning while working. This comprehensive guide examines each route: foundational CPD units, immersive bootcamps, accredited online MSc programmes, funding options, planning strategies and a real-world case study. Whether you’re a software developer branching into ML, a statistician aiming to upskill, or a professional exploring AI-driven innovation, you’ll discover how to build in-demand ML expertise on your own schedule.
