Job Overview:

We make debug tools that help Arm's partners build outstanding software on their embedded devices which power mobile, games, Android, Linux, Machine Learning, and enterprise applications. Engineers are afforded the opportunity to move between teams as needed to deliver products, so it helps to be a quick learner and willing to adapt to new technical challenges.

We are looking for skilled test engineers with expertise in crafting and implementing reliable automated tests.

Responsibilities:

We are growing our debugger team and seek a hardworking test automation engineer to help provide a wonderful developer experience to our partners!

We are building tools to help developers debug and bring up sophisticated devices that implement the latest Arm architecture features and intellectual property. The successful candidate will work in a new sub-team developing a new debugger UX. The candidate will cultivate automated tests and quality in the team.

Working with a team of engineers, you will be involved in the full software development lifecycle, from working with our Technology Managers to clarify requirements through to design, development and deployment of new features. At every stage, you will help develop automated test suites to ensure the final product is at the high quality our partners expect.

  • Past work in Node.js, Electron, React, VSCode extensions
  • The underlying product is written in Java and C++, so a basic understanding of either of those languages would be helpful
  • Knowledge of how to effectively use the Linux command line
  • Experience with UX design principles and processes
  • Use of embedded debug tools like Arm Development Studio or Keil MDK and associated JTAG or SWD debug probes.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
