ARM Ltd

If you have just used a mobile phone, camera or MP3 player, chances are you have just used an ARM Powered® product. Our technology is at the heart of a wide range of digital products for use at home, work or on the move.

Founded in 1990, as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. ARM was a UK-based joint venture between Apple Computer, Acorn Computer Group and VLSI Technology. Apple and VLSI both provided funding, while Acorn supplied the technology. There were 12 founding ARM engineers with an objective of everybody should own at least 1 ARM.

ARM is now the world's leading semiconductor intellectual property (IP) supplier and is at the heart of the development of digital electronic products. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, ARM has grown phenomenally over the recent decade and now stands with over 1970 employees across the world. This allows us to create a dynamic spectrum of career paths and opportunities, where personal development through training and internal transfers is positively encouraged.

The ARM business model involves the designing and licensing of IP rather than the manufacturing and selling of actual semiconductor chips. We licence IP to a network of Partners which includes the world's leading semiconductor and systems companies such as Microsoft, Nokia and Samsung Electronics. These Partners utilize ARM IP designs to create and manufacture system-on-chip designs, paying ARM a license fee for the original IP and a royalty on every chip or wafer produced. In addition to processor IP and graphics processors, we provide a range of tools, physical and systems IP to enable optimized system-on-chip designs. ARM prides itself on being one of the best employers in the country, seeking to build on this by attracting the best university talent to join the company through a number of highly regarded and widely recognized schemes.

ARM has a distinct culture that is based on global collaboration and teamwork. The values of Teamwork and Selflessness, Innovation, Personal Development, Delivery, Constructive Pro-activity, Customer and Partner Focus and Responsiveness are all mutually supportive of an environment that is conducive to innovation at every level.

The culture is open and meritocratic where everyone can make a real difference to the business. Above all, we promote an organisation where we balance hard-work and fun. From an employee perspective, our people strategy is summarised by us committing to “an open engaging environment for employees where we can fully develop our personal and collective potential better than elsewhere.”
