Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Engineer Jobs at Arm Jobs
Align your background with Arm's IP domains
Arm hires Software Engineers across CPU microarchitecture, GPU compute, compiler toolchains, and embedded firmware. Tailor your resume to the specific stack relevant to each role rather than presenting a generalist profile.
Verify your degree field supports specialty occupation
USCIS requires your degree to directly relate to the Software Engineer role. A computer science or electrical engineering degree maps cleanly, but adjacent fields like mathematics or physics may need supporting documentation at the petition stage.
Prioritize roles marked as visa sponsorship eligible
Use Migrate Mate to filter Software Engineer openings at Arm by visa type so you're only applying to positions where sponsorship is already confirmed, avoiding roles that exclude international candidates before you invest time in interviews.
Request a PERM timeline estimate before accepting an offer
Arm sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards, but DOL PERM advertising requirements mean the earliest filing typically begins one year after your start date. Clarify your employer's standard timeline during offer negotiation so you can plan long-term status accordingly.

Find Software Engineer at Arm JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Arm sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, Arm sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineers across its U.S. locations. Arm participates in the annual H-1B cap lottery, so new applicants without existing H-1B status are subject to the April registration window. Candidates already on H-1B can transfer their petition to Arm without waiting for the lottery cycle.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at Arm?
Applications go through Arm's careers portal, where roles are listed by team and location. Before applying, confirm the role includes visa sponsorship, as not every posting does. Migrate Mate filters Arm's open Software Engineer positions by visa type, so you can identify sponsorship-confirmed roles without reviewing each listing individually.
Which visa types does Arm sponsor for Software Engineer roles?
Arm sponsors H-1B, E-3, TN, F-1 OPT, and F-1 CPT for Software Engineers, along with Green Card pathways through EB-2 and EB-3 categories. Australian citizens are eligible for the E-3, which bypasses the H-1B lottery. TN sponsorship is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles.
What qualifications does Arm expect for Software Engineer roles?
Most Software Engineer roles at Arm require a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Depth in systems programming, CPU or GPU architecture, compiler development, or embedded software is typically expected depending on the team. Research and advanced architecture roles often prefer candidates with graduate-level experience or published work in relevant domains.
How do I time my application around the H-1B lottery if I'm on OPT?
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employer must submit your H-1B registration in March for an October 1 start date. STEM OPT extensions give you up to three years of work authorization, which provides a buffer if you miss one lottery cycle. Confirm with Arm's HR team that your OPT expiration date gives enough runway before registration opens.
