Are you passionate about technical writing? Does ground-breaking technology inspire you? Join Arm's Information Developers and develop content for IP products that power 95% of the world's connected devices—from healthcare to smart homes to infrastructure.
We're looking for an expert technical author to work on content projects for innovative System-on-Chip (SoC) designs across hardware and low-level software.
This role is a one-year Fixed Term Contract.
Job Overview
Arm's Solutions Engineering team delivers integrated hardware-software designs that help customers innovate and bring products to market faster.
Our Solutions Technical Communications team makes these solutions accessible through clear, impactful documentation.
As a Staff Information Developer, you will be a core member of the team and lead in the planning and generation of content for solutions projects.
Responsibilities
* Collaborate with engineers to collect and validate complex technical details.
* Plan and develop clear, user-centric technical documentation for SoC hardware and software.
* Lead and/or contribute documentation for subsystem and solution releases.
Key skills & competencies
* 5+ years experience in writing and leading complex documentation projects.
* Ability to manage content across projects and release cycles.
* Creative problem solver, flexible and pragmatic in approach.
* Clear communicator in multi-disciplinary teams.
* Eager to learn about new technologies and evolving documentation practices.
Nice to have
* Experience documenting SoC hardware/software (e.g., firmware, BSPs, boot flows, system configuration).
* Solid understanding of hardware design concepts (RTL/IP integration, chip bring-up, validation, FPGA prototyping).
* Familiarity with modern documentation workflows and tools (Markdown, Git, Python, JSON/YAML, reuse and single-sourcing).
* A good degree or postgraduate qualification in a relevant field, such as Electrical, Electronic or Computer Engineering, Computer Science or any of the sciences, English, Philosophy, Linguistics, or Law.
If you have many of these skills—and a drive to learn the rest—we encourage you to apply. We have some scope to adapt the role and job title to the right person.
In return
You'll be part of an inclusive, supportive team that values your leadership and expertise. You'll help shape documentation strategy for cutting-edge SoC solutions while enjoying hybrid work flexibility, competitive rewards, and opportunities to grow your influence across a global organisation.
