Arm has built the world’s most pervasive compute architecture, powering computing wherever it happens – from embedded and automotive systems to cloud and data center infrastructure. As Arm continues to grow its presence in server and infrastructure markets, system software plays a critical role in enabling high-quality, production-ready platforms for customers and partners.

This role is part of Arm’s System Solutions software organization. It involves working on software for Arm Neoverse–based platforms. Tasks range from initial verification on pre-silicon platforms to production-quality firmware and software on real silicon. The Validation Lead will provide technical and people leadership for a focus group responsible for proving system readiness, software quality, release confidence, and customer-facing robustness across complex platform deliverables.

We are looking for a staff or principal engineer with strong system software expertise, extensive system-wide knowledge, and a deep passion for quality, validation, and testing.



This person will shape how the team validates complex firmware and platform software across the full system, from early pre-silicon environments through silicon bring-up, platform integration, release readiness, and customer-facing use cases.. They will also help grow a validation culture that detects issues early, produces clear evidence, and supports confident delivery.
