Join us on our Global Internship Program and grow within one of the most historical UK-forged technology companies!

Ready to dive into real-world projects, expand your industry connections, and build skills that will carry you onto the next stage of your career?

 

Areas offering Hardware Intern Roles:

 

We have a range of 3, 6 or 12 months industry placements across our hardware teams. These opportunities are available within:

During the application process you will be able to share your interest for a specific Business Group, or "opt-in" to all Groups broadening your opportunity.  We work in small to medium-sized teams with most following modern Agile principles. Engineers share ideas and add to the ideas of others, document and present their work for discussion, review and support the efforts of others, whilst sharing their findings impartially and authoritatively.

In your role, you will be introduced to the teams, our ways of working, be treated liked any other engineer on the team and support by expert engineers.

 

What could you be doing as a Hardware Intern?

 

  • Working with design teams to develop IP that delivers high performance, power efficient products.
  • Analysing existing tools looking for enhancements/automation, alongside trialling new tools.
  • Verifying IP using a wide range of methodologies – constrained random simulation using testbenches written in SystemVerilog, running real applications on emulation or FPGA platforms, and using formal methods.
  • Implementing Arm IP in silicon process nodes using design automation tools.
  • Developing system solutions using ARM IP for different market domains ranging from mobile, IoT, data centres, etc.
  • Writing specifications for Arm’s IP products and systems – analysing trade-offs between different options using software or hardware models.
  • Providing Verification and Implementation support for systems through the lifecycle of the design right up to the delivery to the customer.

We're looking for individuals who are:

 

You will need to be studying towards a degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or any other relevant subject. Other degree types may be considered with relevant experience.

 

Qualities that will help your application stand out:

 

  • Experience in at least one programming language.
  • A real passion for computing and/or the semi-conductor industry that goes beyond your studies.
  • Good attention to detail with the ability to problem solve and express ideas effectively.
  • Team-spirit with an appreciation for the "We, not I" core belief.
  • If you have an interest in computer architecture fundamentals, digital design concepts, CPU architecture and microarchitecture features (such as caches, MMU, SMP, coherency, CPU pipelines) this is a plus, but not essential.  Any familiarity with a hardware description language like VHDL or Verilog/SystemVerilog is also helpful.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
