Job Overview:

The Arm on Arm team drives the move to Arm-based platforms for all the compute used at Arm in the delivery of our business, whether that is in our engineering compute clusters, enterprise workflows, or on colleagues laptops. We have the remit to do whatever is needed to make that migration happen, whether that's working with our partners in the supply chain across software vendors, hardware companies and cloud operators; ensuring our internal IT systems provide access to Arm-based compute, or helping individual teams within the company to migrate their specific use case to Arm. We also collaborate with the Lines of Business to ensure that what we have done is used publicly in support of our ecosystem partners.

We are looking for a team member who is keen to get stuck in at all levels of the stack, from racking and building prototype Arm servers through helping partners to optimise their code for the latest microarchitecture and bug finding in the Linux kernel to promoting the use of AArch64 across Engineering.

Responsibilities:

Be the first point of contact for technical queries coming from partners, especially EDA software vendors, where they have questions relating to porting code or services to Arm. They will be expected to see these to resolution, potentially over an extended period.

Diagnose problems, identifying compatibility or performance issues and resolving them as appropriate, recent examples below:

Identifying bugs in the network protocol of a storage filer!

Investigating unexpected performance regressions and developing solutions.

Assessing the consistency of floating point maths results on Arm and across other architectures.

Required Skills and Experience:

Demonstrated problem solving ability and commitment to achieving a solution.

Wide (system to application level) programming expertise in a number of programming languages (particularly C).

Software optimisation techniques.

Experience of benchmarking to generate robust measurements of performance.

IT Infrastructure awareness: TCP/IP, DHCP & DNS, datacentre configuration.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

Understanding of EDA landscape and ideally experience in using tools.

Knowledge of Neoverse micro-architectures

Linux Kernel internals.

IT Service operations

In Return:

At Arm, we are guided by our core beliefs that reflect our creative culture and guide our decisions, defining how we work together to surpass ordinary and shape extraordinary.

Rural-Remote UAV Jobs: Charting New Flight Paths Beyond the City

A New Horizon for Drone Enthusiasts Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have soared from niche military tools and hobbyist gadgets to an essential technology across a broad range of sectors—from agriculture and mapping to construction and public safety. Historically, those seeking a career in UAV technology might have assumed they needed to live in a bustling city hub or near major airports to stand a chance of landing a good role. But times are changing. Advances in remote communication, cloud-based data processing, and drone autonomy now enable professionals to work on sophisticated UAV projects from almost anywhere in the UK, including rural and coastal regions. At UAVJobs.co.uk, we’re witnessing a significant shift. More employers are open to hiring remote UAV pilots, data analysts, software developers, and project managers—provided they can access reliable internet and handle occasional on-site visits. Likewise, an increasing number of professionals are seeking “tech jobs by the sea” or “UAV remote countryside” roles, motivated by rising urban living costs, quality-of-life aspirations, and the growing acceptance of distributed teams. In this article, we’ll explore why “rural-remote UAV jobs” are no longer a pipe dream, the benefits and challenges of stepping beyond the city, and how to position yourself for success if you’re ready to settle among rolling hills or scenic coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned drone pilot, a software engineer working on flight autonomy, or a GIS analyst processing aerial data, you might be pleasantly surprised by the opportunities waiting for you outside metropolitan areas.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in UAVs—A New Frontier in Aerial Autonomy

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—often called drones—have transformed industries from agriculture and logistics to emergency response and filmmaking. Yet as UAV technology scales in sophistication and widespread adoption, existing computational models struggle with the immense complexity of tasks like real-time path planning, obstacle avoidance, sensor fusion, and multi-agent coordination. Conventional hardware and AI algorithms can handle many missions adequately, but the next level—think fully autonomous UAV fleets, high-speed real-time analytics, and intricate swarm operations—demands a paradigm shift in computational capability. That’s where quantum computing enters the picture. Capitalising on quantum mechanical phenomena (superposition and entanglement), quantum computers can tackle specific challenges (like large-scale optimisation and rapid sampling) much faster than classical machines. When fused with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a quantum-enhanced synergy, it opens fresh possibilities for UAV autonomy—ranging from improved flight safety and swarm coordination to advanced image processing and sensor analytics. In this article, we will: Examine current demands in the UAV sector, highlighting core limitations of classical methods. Explain the basics of quantum computing—what qubits are and how they might bolster AI workflows. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can elevate UAV applications, spanning everything from route optimisation to swarm coordination. Discuss the hurdles we must overcome (such as noisy quantum hardware or data encoding) and ways to address them. Look at the emerging roles, skill sets, and career pathways to ride this wave of innovation—especially in the UK UAV market. If you are an aviation engineer, data scientist, robotics specialist, or simply intrigued by drones and next-gen computing, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI may well define the next evolution of UAV technology, bridging the gap between current capabilities and truly autonomous flight across the skies.
