ARM Senior Software Engineer 

United Kingdom, England, Cambridge

Job Overview:

Our group writes the layer of the driver that implements the popular GPU compute APIs, such as Vulkan and OpenCL, which provide massively parallel execution of general purpose (C-like) code on Mali GPUs, often known as GPGPU (General-purpose computing on graphics processing units).

You will develop with the latest yet-to-be-published Android versions and will help craft the technologies that the mobile market will see in years to come.

Responsibilities:

You will work in a Linux environment, working on Arm-based targets including models, FPGAs and silicon from our partner companies (thereby covering past, present and future generations of our designs).

As a member of an Agile team, you will have the chance to try your hand at different aspects of our work. Engineers grow their expertise through in-house and externally hosted training, and through peer code reviews.

You will be working closely together with our community of engineering teams across Arm’s European design centres developing technologies for the current and next generations of Arm Mali™ GPUs.

• Participating in all phases of software development – including design, implementation, testing, code review and documentation.
• Implementing new features in the driver and/or infrastructure.
• Testing and analysing the functionality and performance of our software.
• Performing design and code reviews for other team members.
