Senior Information Developer- Technical Writer

Senior Information Developer- Technical Writer Overview

Arm is seeking an experienced senior information developer and technical writer to join its Tech Comms Solutions team in Manchester. The role focuses on producing high-quality documentation for complex silicon intellectual property and system-level platforms, helping engineers and partners integrate, configure, and deploy system-on-chip solutions. The work covers both hardware and low-level software, and it plays a direct part in silicon bring-up, validation, tape-out readiness, and customer enablement.

What you will do

• Create and maintain documentation for SoC hardware and software components, including configuration information, register descriptions, and build instructions.
• Write developer-facing content for hardware blocks, RTL interfaces, firmware, build systems, and integration workflows.
• Partner with engineering subject matter experts to gather technical detail, confirm accuracy, and turn complex information into clear documentation.
• Support documentation needs across overlapping release cycles for sophisticated silicon IP and system platforms.
• Help engineers and external partners understand how to integrate, configure, and deploy SoC-based solutions.
• Contribute documentation that supports silicon bring-up, firmware development, system integration, validation, and successful customer adoption.
• Set up and refine documentation standards, review steps, content architecture, terminology, and reuse strategies so the documentation model can scale across programs.
• Use structured authoring tools and version control systems to build modular, source-driven documentation.

What Arm is looking for

• At least four years of experience as a technical writer or information developer, with evidence of handling complex documentation work across multiple projects and release cycles.
• Ability to read technical specifications and design documents and turn them into accurate, usable content.
• Interest in learning new technologies and standards, along with the flexibility to adapt as priorities change.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills in cross-functional engineering environments.
• Preferred background in documenting low-level software or hardware in a semiconductor or SoC setting, including firmware, board support packages, boot flows, and system configuration.
• Helpful experience with hardware design concepts, RTL and IP integration, chip validation, bring-up processes, FPGA prototyping, or embedded software development.
• A relevant degree or postgraduate qualification is desirable; examples include computer science, physics, maths, English, linguistics, or law.

What you can expect in return

• The chance to work with exceptional colleagues on advanced SoC platforms and integration flows.
• Competitive compensation.
• Flexible working arrangements.
• Opportunities to grow your career in a challenging technical environment.
• A salary range of £57,900 to £78,400 per year.
• No relocation support is available for this role.
• If skilled worker sponsorship is required, Arm will cover the employer-side sponsorship costs.
• The selected candidate must pay their own visa application fee and Immigration Health Surcharge.
