FPGA Intern

Search your pockets and pick up a device that most likely is flat, fits in your palm, and has a shiny glass surface. With the help of this device, you can buy bus tickets, track work-out sessions, watch movies, play a game, or record your next social media dance video post. Arm provides the compute superpowers of the modern-day smartphone. Billions of users benefit from our technology every day, with a performance unheard of only a few years ago!

If you are interested in learning more about how we in Arm design our GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators and other world-class IP that powers smartphones, self-driving cars, smart-watches, data-centres and just about any piece of electronics in the world, then you should consider joining the team in Trondheim!

In 2006 Arm acquired Falanx, a small Norwegian start-up developing Graphics Processing Units. The team now counts 200 employees from more than 30 different nationalities. We are based in Trondheim, the beautiful technological capitol of Norway. Here the team is combining hiking, skiing, and trips on the fjord with developing Mali, the world's most shipped GPU.

Would you like to work in an inclusive and multi-cultural environment? Are you creative and passionate about new technologies? If so, we would love to hear from you!

This internship begins in June 2027 for approximately 10 weeks.
