You will join an expert and highly motivated team shaping the next generation of automotive and robotics system architectures, working at the intersection of system architecture, embedded software, and hardware platforms.
This role focuses on system, hardware and software architectures, with a strong emphasis on reliability, cybersecurity and functional safety context for advanced platforms incorporating technologies such as AI accelerators, chiplets, and heterogeneous compute architectures.
You will work closely with system architects, hardware designers, and functional safety specialists to help ensure platforms are architecturally sound, reliable, and suitable for deployment in safety- and mission-critical environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and review system architectures for automotive and robotics platforms.
- Contribute to architectural analysis including functional safety, cybersecurity, real-time, reliability, and availability.
- Support functional safety activities (e.g. analysis and safety concept contributions, systems architectures reviews) in collaboration with dedicated functional safety experts.
- Participate in system, hardware and software architectural discussions, ensuring system-level design choices are technically coherent and scalable.
- Drive the exploration and continuous improvement of engineering methodologies, tools, and workflows across system and embedded software design (e.g. Model Based System Engineering, EDA Safety and Cybersecurity Analysis tools, Requirements Traceability)
- Produce high-quality technical documentation, including architecture descriptions, design rationales, and analysis reports aligned with industry standards.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across software, hardware, systems, and safety to enable dependable platform solutions.
This role supports functional safety activities led by specialist safety architects; deep certification ownership is not expected initially.
Required Skills & Experience
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Electronics, or a related discipline (PhD or equivalent industry experience is a plus).
- Strong experience in system and/or embedded software architecture, ideally in complex or highly constrained environments.
- Proficiency in C/C++; working knowledge of Python for tooling, analysis, or automation.
- Experience with embedded platforms or SoC-based systems; exposure to heterogeneous or AI accelerator-based architectures is valued.
- Confidence in authoring and reviewing technical and architectural documentation.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to a wide range of stakeholders.
- A proactive, collaborative mindset with a passion for building high-quality engineering solutions.
Nice To Have / Bonus Experience
- Exposure to functional safety standards or concepts (e.g. ISO 26262, IEC 61508).
- Experience contributing to safety-critical or highly dependable systems.
- Familiarity with hardware/software co-design, SoC architectures, or System Modelling approaches.
- Experience with reliability engineering, system dependability analysis, or cybersecurity.
- Knowledge of automotive, robotics or industrial platforms (ADAS, AD, IVI, digital cockpit, industrial control systems).
- Exposure to AI/ML software stacks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) in embedded or edge environments.
In Return
You will gain hands‑on exposure to system‑level architectural decisions at Arm, working alongside experienced architects on platforms that scale across automotive and robotics markets.
You Will
- Develop a deep understanding of how system architecture and safety considerations interact in real‑world products.
- Influence the architectural quality and dependability of next‑generation platforms.
- Grow your expertise through collaboration with senior architects, hardware teams, and functional safety specialists.
- Work on technologies that span from IP to system‑level solutions, with clear impact on Arm’s ecosystem and customers.
