Job Overview
Arm’s Systems Engineering team delivers hardware designs for Arm System IP - a family of interconnect, memory, and system-level components that enable the efficient integration of Arm processors and other IP blocks into SoCs (Systems on Chip). Essentially, it is the “glue” that ties together processors, accelerators, memory controllers, and peripherals to form a complete, functioning system. Our System IP Technical Communications team plays a key role by producing the documentation for all Arm System IP and the IP Tooling software platform used for configuration of all Arm IP.
As a Staff Technical Writer in the System IP Technical Communications team, you’ll serve as a senior technical leader within the team, owning content strategy for System IP projects and guiding documentation from planning through delivery, contributing to Arm's solutions along the way. Alongside creating impactful content enabling our partners to make the most of our products, you’ll also provide mentorship and people leadership—shaping both your own growth and that of your teammates while driving the documentation that supports key product milestones and customer success.
Responsibilities
* Plan, develop, and maintain clear, user-centric documentation for System IP hardware designs and IP Tooling platform software.
* Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to extract and validate complex technical information.
* Manage multiple documentation tracks across concurrent IP.
* Lead and mentor other Information Developers, supervising content planning and delivery.
* Define and implement scalable documentation standards, structures, and review processes.
* Drive innovation in authoring tools and workflows to improve efficiency and quality.
* Advocate for content excellence and influence documentation strategy across System IP projects and the wider Tech Comms group.
Key Skills And Competencies
* Experienced information developer / technical writer with 4+ years writing and managing complex documentation sets.
* Demonstrated ability to coordinate content across multiple projects and release cycles.
* Strong problem-solving skills; flexible, pragmatic.
* Excellent communicator and organizer in multi-disciplinary environments.
* Passionate about learning emerging technologies and evolving documentation standards.
* Proficient in industry-standard tools with a focus on scalable, efficient content delivery.
* Open to change and able to adapt.
* Open-minded personality with a collaborative, inclusive working style.
Nice To Have
* Proven experience documenting low-level hardware and/or software in a SoC (System on Chip), semiconductor, or embedded systems environment (e.g., firmware, BSPs, boot flows, system configuration).
* Solid understanding of hardware design concepts, such as RTL/IP integration, chip bring-up, validation workflows, or FPGA prototyping.
* Exposure to modern documentation toolchains and automation practices (e.g., Markdown or reStructuredText, Jenkins, JSON/YAML, Python, or shift-left content generation).
* A good degree or postgraduate qualification in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, Physics, Maths, English, Linguistics, or Law.
* People leadership experience, or a prominent interest in people leadership as part of a future career progression path, would be a strong advantage.
You don’t need every skill listed—just a strong foundation and curiosity to learn the rest. We can shape the role for the right person, so if you're interested but unsure, we’d still love for you to apply!
In Return
You’ll be part of an inclusive team focused on continual improvement, where your leadership and expertise are truly valued. You’ll help shape documentation strategy and people development for Arm's critical System IP products, with an opportunity to feed content into documenting ground-breaking products and solutions. You'll enjoy flexible hybrid work, competitive rewards, and the chance to grow your influence across a global organisation that champions innovation and continuous development.
