ARM
Founded in 1990, ARM Holdings is the world’s leading semiconductor intellectual property (IP) supplier and as such is at the heart of the development of digital electronic products. Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, and employing over 1700 people, ARM has offices around the world, including design centers in France, India, Sweden, and the US. In just twenty years, over 15 billion ARM based chips have been shipped by OEMs. This includes over 600 processor licenses sold to more than 200 companies.
ARM designs the technology that lies at the heart of advanced digital products, from wireless, networking and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive, security and storage devices. ARM’s comprehensive product offering includes 32-bit RISC microprocessors, graphics processors, video engines, enabling software, cell libraries, embedded memories, high-speed connectivity products, peripherals and development tools. Combined with comprehensive design services, training, support and maintenance, and the company’s broad Partner community, they provide a total system solution that offers a fast, reliable path to market for leading electronics companies. With the diversity of ARM IP and the broad ecosystem of supporting silicon and software for ARM-based solutions, the world’s leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) use ARM technology in a wide variety of applications ranging from mobile handsets and digital set top boxes to car braking systems and network routers. Today ARM technology is used in more than 95% of the world’s mobile handsets and over one-quarter of all electronic devices!
The ARM business model involves the designing and licensing of IP rather than the manufacturing and selling of actual semiconductor chips. ARM licence IP to a network of partners, which includes some of the world’s leading semiconductor and systems companies. 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, we provide a range of tools, physical and systems IP to enable optimized system-on-chip designs.
Working at ARM is about working with the best people in the industry. ARM’s people strategy is to provide an engaging environment for ARM employees, where they can fully develop personal and collective potential, better than elsewhere. ARM actively encourages personal & career development, providing regular training opportunities in order for employees to fulfill their potential. Being such a diverse, dynamic and multinational company we can offer a wide spectrum of career paths, so no two days are the same. ARM as a company has received several awards about which you may learn.
