Join Arm’s Chandler Characterization team to develop software infrastructure that enables post-silicon validation and characterization of next-generation Arm SoCs.
Staff Software Engineer – Post-Silicon Infrastructure
As a Staff Software Engineer – Post-Silicon Infrastructure, you will build scalable tools and frameworks that connect hardware, firmware, workloads, instrumentation, and data collection. You will help transform engineering experiments into reliable, repeatable capabilities used across Arm validation platforms.
Responsibilities:
- Develop reusable software infrastructure for post-silicon validation and characterization
- Build Python automation for workloads, platform controls, instrumentation, and data collection
- Develop scalable frameworks for repeatable and reliable test execution
- Collaborate across engineering teams to integrate, debug, and improve automated test methodologies
Required Skills and Experience:
We are looking for systems software experience with a focus on Linux, Python, automation, and developing reusable software frameworks for physical hardware environments.
- Strong Python development skills with experience building automation, frameworks, or orchestration tools
- Experience with Linux systems, APIs, software architecture, and development that follows configuration parameters
- Experience developing CI, regression, or automated test infrastructure for reliable unattended execution
- Experience debugging complex software and hardware interactions using logging, telemetry, and other diagnostic methods
- Ability to develop reusable solutions while collaborating with firmware, validation, systems, and infrastructure teams
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
Experience with embedded systems, hardware validation, or post-silicon environments is helpful, but deep characterization experience is not required.
- Experience with C/C++, embedded systems, firmware interfaces, or SoC platforms
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), lab instrumentation, telemetry, or equipment automation
- Experience developing APIs for hardware control, workload execution, data collection, and failure recovery
- Experience with YAML or other automation platforms that are guided by configuration data
- Understanding of silicon validation, characterization, power/performance, or system-level testing
You will succeed in this role by turning complex engineering workflows into reliable infrastructure that can scale across platforms and users. Curiosity, teamwork, and an interest in learning the post-silicon characterization domain will help you make an impact across Arm engineering teams!
Salary Range:
$198,100-$268,000 per year
We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm.

Which electronics companies sponsor E-3 visas in Arizona?
Arizona's electronics industry includes several employers with established histories of sponsoring work visas for specialty occupation roles. Intel operates a major fabrication campus in Chandler, Microchip Technology is headquartered in Chandler, and ON Semiconductor is based in Phoenix. Defense-focused electronics employers like Raytheon and General Dynamics also have significant Arizona operations. Sponsorship practices vary by company, hiring cycle, and role, so confirming sponsorship willingness directly with each employer is always necessary.
Which cities in Arizona have the most electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs?
The Phoenix metropolitan area, including Chandler, Tempe, Scottsdale, and Mesa, concentrates the majority of Arizona's electronics employment. Chandler in particular anchors the so-called Silicon Desert, hosting semiconductor manufacturers and hardware engineering firms. Tucson is a secondary hub, driven by defense electronics and optics companies with ties to the University of Arizona. Smaller pockets of electronics activity exist in Flagstaff and the East Valley.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
E-3 visa sponsorship requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning it normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field. In Arizona's electronics sector, roles that commonly meet this standard include semiconductor process engineers, electrical engineers, hardware design engineers, embedded systems engineers, RF engineers, and quality assurance engineers. General technician or assembly roles that do not require a relevant degree typically do not qualify.
How do I find electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and filters job listings by visa type, including E-3, and by industry, making it straightforward to browse electronics roles in Arizona where employers have indicated sponsorship willingness. Because E-3 eligibility requires both a qualifying role and an employer willing to file the Labor Condition Application, using a platform like Migrate Mate that surfaces sponsorship-relevant listings saves significant time compared to searching general job boards.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for electronics E-3 sponsorship?
Arizona's semiconductor industry is expanding following federal investment in domestic chip manufacturing, which has increased engineering hiring in the Phoenix corridor. However, some large employers in this space are government contractors with facility security clearance requirements, and those roles may be restricted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Australian nationals on E-3 visas should confirm clearance requirements early in the application process, as these restrictions are set by federal contract terms rather than by the E-3 visa category itself.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 electronics jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
