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.

About the devices, circuits and systems group and our work

We are looking for interns to join our Devices, Circuits and Systems Research team; we want to hear from candidates interested in delivering post-Moore scaling and pushing compute past the limits of power, cost, and performance. Our research activities cover a wide range of chip design challenges such as:

• Delivering power to multi-GHz processors
• Crafting performant and energy-efficient systems with emerging post-Moore memory and switching devices
• 3D stacking
• Designing microwatt sub-threshold microcontrollers
• Realising 1 cent disposable printed electronics
• Prototyping battery-less sensor nodes.

We are looking for a talented and creative Open Source Coordinator who will support the Open Source Software organization.  The ideal candidate will bring strong detail oriented execution and organizational skills to help drive the impact of Arm in the Open Source community.

 About the role

• The position reports to the Director Open Source Communities. The position has working relationships with, but not limited: Software Engineering groups, Global Event Teams, Enterprise Marketing, Legal, Procurement, Finance, Business Line Groups, IT, as well as external service providers.
• Responsible for coordinating activities within the Open Source Office and supporting various aspects of events (including industry trade shows, special events and conferences) and multifaceted projects.
• Some knowledge in project management is highly beneficial
• Working with globally dispersed teams, engaging engineering leads to drive Arm’s Open Source presence at a variety of events from large commercial to grass root community

About the Role
As an Imaging R&D Graduate, you will be joining the ISP team within Arm, which develops and designs image processing technology that is used in a range of applications including automobiles, security cameras, and drones. The algorithm development team is tasked with solving a variety of image processing problems, from denoise to demosaic, auto-exposure to motion compensation. Our algorithms must satisfy the competing demands of high image quality, and efficient, low-power hardware implementation.

This is an opportunity to contribute towards the next generation of imaging systems, for both human viewing and autonomous driving applications.

Why should you apply?

• You want to work in leading digital imaging technology.
• You have a keen interest in imaging or image processing, which you would like to develop into a career.
• You want to see tangible results from your work.
• You want to have the opportunity to learn from the best engineers and start a career in a leading imaging and vision technology group.

What will I be accountable for?

• Working with image quality experts to determine requirements for processing.
• Developing new image processing algorithms, often from early concept phase and typically in a mathematical modelling environment.
• Implementing novel algorithms, starting from a floating-point model
• Testing and benchmarking of the results, working closely with our image quality experts.
• Collaborating with the wider engineering team to arrive at an architecture and fixed-point model of your algorithm, optimized for hardware or software implementation

About the Role
We are looking for a passionate story teller. A person who combines an astute business mind with a knowledge and thirst to know more about how technology is shaping our connected world. You will need to engage with our C-suite audience, win their confidence and help shape individual narratives. You must also be a real team-player and confident networker able to build up a bank of ideas from talking to our many world class experts. Whether that is our R&D team looking at shrinking microprocessor technologies or our 5G experts thinking about network transformation.

You should not be constrained by the story-telling form. You may be producing an onstage presentation to 1,000 engineers, or a speech to an audience who only want to know what technology can do for them and not how it works. You may be working with one of our executives to write a monthly blog on industry trends or working with our creative team on a film script. We need someone who is as passionate about the future of technology as we are. Someone who enjoys an intellectual or philosophical discussion but who has narrative ability to sift the soil to find the gold and apply laser focus to get the job done on time, and at the highest quality. Arm is an architect of technologies and markets. We want an architect of our executive story.

What will I be accountable for?

• Shape the narrative of the C-suite and key business leaders
• Support and lead content/presentation creation for key Arm and industry conferences, bylined pieces
• Work with the content marketing, PR, creative, campaign and digital marketing teams to produce narratives that work on multiple story-telling levels and captivate our audiences
• Research audiences, event agenda, and topics; map the appropriate messages and Arm executive speakers to the opportunities; ensure end- to-end smooth delivery
• Develop powerful and visually-compelling C-suite keynote presentations, articles and other vehicles that tell our business story
• Debrief executive and business leads following each presentation to achieve continuous improvement.
