Introduction

The Media Processing Division (MPD) within ARM has the mission to be at the forefront of advanced multimedia IP products. The Mali range of graphics processors and video engines deliver an advanced architecture for hardware acceleration of graphics and video, tuned for low energy consumption and high performance.

Due to our considerable success to date combined with continuing strong customer interest we need to accelerate the development of our Mali product family. To enable this and also to further strengthen the division’s engineering team, we are looking for a specialised Graphics Hardware Design Engineer to be a key member of our hardware development team in Cambridge, UK.

Hardware design engineers within MPD have responsibilities that cover all areas of the design and verification process, from initial concept through to customer deployment. This is a demanding hands-on role, employing the latest design and verification techniques to develop best-in-class configurable graphics processor hardware IP that is optimized for low power and high performance.
