Category Hardware Engineering
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. Salary is only one component of Arm's offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during the recruitment and selection process.

Which companies sponsor visas for software developers in Arizona?
Intel, Amazon, Microchip Technology, GoDaddy, and Honeywell are among the larger Arizona employers with documented histories of sponsoring H-1B visas for software developers. The Phoenix metro also has a growing cluster of fintech and semiconductor firms, including Western Digital and Axon, that regularly file Labor Condition Applications for engineering roles.
Which visa types are most common for software developer roles in Arizona?
The H-1B is by far the most common visa for software developers in Arizona, as the role consistently qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field. Developers from Canada or Mexico may qualify for the TN visa under the USMCA. Australians with qualifying credentials can pursue the E-3 visa as an alternative to the H-1B lottery.
Which cities in Arizona have the most software developer sponsorship jobs?
The Phoenix metro area, particularly Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, and Gilbert, accounts for the overwhelming majority of software developer sponsorship opportunities in Arizona. Chandler is notable for its semiconductor corridor anchored by Intel's large campus. Tucson has a smaller but active tech presence, with the University of Arizona contributing to local engineering hiring pipelines.
How to find software developer visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate filters software developer job listings in Arizona specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you're not sorting through roles that won't support international candidates. The platform surfaces positions from employers that have actively sponsored visas for software developers, helping you focus your applications on companies with real sponsorship track records in the Arizona market.
Are there any Arizona-specific considerations for software developers seeking visa sponsorship?
Arizona's semiconductor and defense technology sectors are heavily concentrated in the Chandler and Phoenix area, and some roles at defense contractors may require security clearances that are generally unavailable to visa holders, narrowing the field. Arizona State University's large international enrollment means many local employers are familiar with OPT and H-1B transitions, which can make sponsorship conversations more straightforward at companies that have hired international graduates before.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored software developer 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.
