Intern to Engineer

Tell me about yourself

 I joined Arm in India through an internship in 2022 and have been part of DVInfra  team within the CPU group ever since. My role focuses on test benches, but over time it’s shifted to improving workflows that enable the entire verification team to move faster and more effectively.

What I enjoy most is that I’m not just solving problems, I’m helping build the systems that make problem-solving easier for everyone else.

What’s something people might be surprised to learn about your day-to-day?

Most people assume I spend my entire day coding or debugging test benches, but that’s just part of it. A lot of my time is actually spent collaborating and communicating- syncing with cross-functional teams, communicating requirements clearly, mentoring junior team members.

The human element in engineering is bigger than most people expect, and collaborating effectively has become just as important as technical problem-solving. Over time, I’ve learned how to explain things better, depending on who I’m talking to. Different teams work differently, so you start to figure out how to get your point across and work together more smoothly.

You’ve grown from intern to engineer, how has your mindset evolved as you've taken on bigger challenges at Arm?

When I was an intern, I focused on execution, but as I've grown and Arm continues to evolve, I've shifted my thinking from delivery to thinking about impact and long-term value creation. 

I now think about how to design reusable solutions, improve processes, and contribute to the bigger picture.  One project I’m proud of involved rethinking how our test bench rendering was done. I developed a parallel workflow to TECHNICAL DETAIL that cut time by 40% - and that is still used daily by more than 80 engineers.

That idea started during my graduate year. I was given space to explore it through existing resources at Arm, ChatGPT and bouncing ideas with manager on use cases and how it should work. I went on to test it, and eventually implement it at scale. I’ve learned that the real win isn’t finishing something - it’s creating something that makes life better for others.
