A Golden Land? Questioning Frontiers, Fantasies and Fulfillment in the Pacific Northwest

I’d first driven by this land en route to elsewhere. When I saw the bunkers—over a thousand set upon the desert—I was so stunned by the terrain’s alien disfigurement that I stopped at an overpass to absorb the view. To my eye, the concrete bunkers were dystopian in their sum and structure and sprawl—scarring nine […]

So-called ‘deaths of despair’ are rising in the UK. Labour must act on this silent epidemic

Rates of suicide, alcohol and drug fatalities (collectively known as “deaths of despair”) have increased by 9%, 45% and 81% respectively in England and Wales over the last decade. Given that mortality rates for most other causes are stable or decreasing, this increase is deeply concerning. In total, in 2022 these three causes accounted for […]

The Impact of Parental Health Shocks on Child Schooling and Labour: Evidence From Thailand

ABSTRACT This paper uses household panel data from the Thai Socio-Economic Surveys of 2012 and 2017 to examine the effects of parental health shocks on child education and labour. Three measures of parental health are analysed: chronic illness, hospitalisation, and functional health status. The results show that the parentʼs illness decreases school enrolment and leads […]

Research Intern 2021 - Security & Large Scale Systems (SLSS), Interns/Students, Cambridge, UK, Research


Research Internships 2021 – SLSS

Arm is the industry's leading supplier of microprocessor technology providing efficient, low-power chip intelligence making electronic innovations come to life.  Through our partners, our designs power everything from coffee machines to the fastest supercomputer in the world. Do you want to work on technology that enriches the lives of over 70% of the world’s population?   Our internship programme is now open for applications! We want to hear from curious and enthusiastic candidates interested in working with us on the future generations of compute.

About Arm and Arm Research

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.

About the software and large-scale systems group and our work

The Software and Large-Scale Systems Research works on distributed systems, edge computing, compute-in-memory, and computer-in-network among other subjects. We are interested in High Performance Computing, Computational Engineering, and High-Performance Data Analytics.

Through our work we try to address three main questions: How do we balance hardware diversity with the software ecosystem? How do we evolve ARM technology to be relevant at large-scale (scale-up as well as scale-out)? What is the necessary infrastructure for evaluating large scale systems (in the absence of hardware)?

Our research is currently focussed on two threads. One is developing IoT Gateway Reference Design and Proof of concept deployments around various edge use cases (Cities, Agriculture, Rural, Telco). The second one is exploring edge computing, networking, and data centre scale cluster solutions.

Graduate Platforms Hardware Engineer, Graduates, Cambridge, UK, Software Engineering

About the role

We are looking for enthusiastic Graduate Electronics or Embedded System Engineer to join Arm’s Hardware Platform team, who are working at the forefront of embedded design based around Arm IP products. We are responsible for

  • Designing and releasing the latest Arm IP technologies in FPGA image, enabling pre-silicon software and ecosystem development, reducing time to market.
  • Creating physical hardware development platforms, based around Arm’s custom system-on-chip (SoC) and FPGAs for software development and validation activities for both our external partners/customers and our internal development teams.

If you’re interested in:

  • The potential to work on all aspects of product development, from specification to customer release.
  • Eager to learn, a willingness to work across disciplines.
  • The challenges of bringing up a new development board.
  •  

Creating and validating Verilog RTL design in FPGA.

  • Gaining a deeper understanding of system architecture and performance.
  • Working alongside many other teams including system architects, CPU / System IP designers, physical chip layout / packaging engineers.
  • Interaction with Arm’s partners and customers both through the support organisation and directly.

Then we have a role for you!

What will I be accountable for?

As a Graduate, you will be placed in a development team at Arm’s offices in Cambridge, UK where you will have a mentor, and be able to get to grips with the problems ranging across many hardware and software areas.  You will be working across all aspects of the product lifecycle whilst being supported by and learning from the rest of the team.

  • Software stack development to enable Arm IP. This includes implementing HALs, drivers, connectivity, security, power and control components
  • Board support firmware using STM32 and LPC11 microcontrollers
  • Operating system development (Linux, mbedOS, FreeRTOS, etc)
  • Development of reference software and demos for Arm Partners to use and replicate in their own products.
  • Support and maintenance

If you’re interested in:

  • The potential to work on all aspects of product development, from specification to customer release.
  • Eager to learn, willing to give anything a go.
  • The challenges of bringing up a new development board.
  • How to build, test and debug full software stacks on hardware that hasn’t yet been manufactured
  • Gaining a deeper understanding of system architecture and performance
  • Working alongside system hardware designers to develop the best platforms to support Arm’s partners

Then we have a role for you!

What will I be accountable for?

As a Graduate, you will be placed in a development team at Arm’s offices in Cambridge, UK where you will have a mentor, and be able to get to grips with the problems ranging across many software areas.  You will be working across all aspects of the software lifecycle whilst being supported by and learning from the rest of the team.  You will also be offered the opportunity to explore other teams within Arm during your first 12 months with us, as part of our Graduate Rotation programme.

Whilst a lot of our work does involve Open Source software, many tasks require working with development platforms, or simulated hardware environments where features are being developed and tested before the physical devices have been built, so the problems you will be expected to understand and solve are ones that are yet unknown to the general community.
