ARM Sweden AB · Lund · Tills vidare · Deadline 2026-11-27
ARM Sweden AB is hiring a **Graduate ML Hardware Power and Performance Engineer** to work with machine learning and neural network hardware for mobile, consumer, and intelligent devices. Collaborating with international engineering teams across design, verification, and implementation, the engineer will analyse and optimise hardware power consumption and performance, characterise workloads, investigate bottlenecks, and evaluate how architectural choices affect power, performance, and area. The role also involves writing scripts and automation tools to streamline analysis. Starting compensation is SEK 545,000 for bachelor’s graduates or SEK 555,000 for master’s graduates, supported by biannual formal progression reviews, graduate workshops, and relocation or visa sponsorship where required. Applicants must hold, or be on track to hold by the programme start date, a **university degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field**. No prior professional experience is required, but candidates need analytical skills, curiosity about programming and scripting, and good written and verbal communication abilities. Beneficial assets include experience with Python or hardware description languages like SystemVerilog or VHDL, a **basic understanding of computer architecture**, low-power concepts, physical implementation, or machine learning fundamentals. An academic transcript must accompany the application.
We are seeking ambitious graduate engineers passionate about understanding and improving hardware performance and power efficiency. This role offers an outstanding opportunity to work with pioneering Arm IP technology. You will develop technology that drives the next generation of mobile devices, consumer products, and intelligent systems.
