Join us on our Global Internship Program and grow within one of the most historical UK-forged technology companies!

Ready to dive into real-world projects, expand your industry connections, and build skills that will carry you onto the next stage of your career?

 

Areas offering Hardware Intern Roles:

 

We have a range of 3, 6 or 12 months industry placements across our hardware teams. These opportunities are available within:

 

Architecture Technology Group, Central Processing Unit, Central Technology, Graphics Processing Unit, Productivity Engineering, Systems, Solutions Engineering and Machine Learning. Each Groups offers a new perspective and challenge within the Hardware Career pathway.

During the application process you will be able to share your interest for a specific Business Group, or "opt-in" to all Groups broadening your opportunity.  We work in small to medium-sized teams with most following modern Agile principles. Engineers share ideas and add to the ideas of others, document and present their work for discussion, review and support the efforts of others, whilst sharing their findings impartially and authoritatively.

In your role, you will be introduced to the teams, our ways of working, be treated liked any other engineer on the team and support by expert engineers.

 

What could you be doing as a Hardware Intern?

 

  • Working with design teams to develop IP that delivers high performance, power efficient products.
  • Analysing existing tools looking for enhancements/automation, alongside trialling new tools.
  • Verifying IP using a wide range of methodologies – constrained random simulation using testbenches written in SystemVerilog, running real applications on emulation or FPGA platforms, and using formal methods.
  • Implementing Arm IP in silicon process nodes using design automation tools.
  • Developing system solutions using ARM IP for different market domains ranging from mobile, IoT, data centres, etc.
  • Writing specifications for Arm’s IP products and systems – analysing trade-offs between different options using software or hardware models.
  • Providing Verification and Implementation support for systems through the lifecycle of the design right up to the delivery to the customer.

We're looking for individuals who are:

 

You will need to be studying towards a degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or any other relevant subject. Other degree types may be considered with relevant experience.

 

Qualities that will help your application stand out:

 

  • Experience in at least one programming language.
  • A real passion for computing and/or the semi-conductor industry that goes beyond your studies.
  • Good attention to detail with the ability to problem solve and express ideas effectively.
  • Team-spirit with an appreciation for the "We, not I" core belief.
  • If you have an interest in computer architecture fundamentals, digital design concepts, CPU architecture and microarchitecture features (such as caches, MMU, SMP, coherency, CPU pipelines) this is a plus, but not essential.  Any familiarity with a hardware description language like VHDL or Verilog/SystemVerilog is also helpful.

Additional Information:

 

Arm Internships require you to be enrolled in a higher education degree and be returning to your course after your internship/placement. If you are graduating in 2025 you will not be eligible for an Intern role but you will be eligible for our graduate roles.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
