GPU Hardware Intern

Job ID 2026-19403 Date posted Sep. 14, 2026 Location Trondheim, Norway Category Hardware Engineering Apply

Search your pockets and pick up a device that is most likely flat, fits in your palm, and has a shiny glass surface. With the help of your phone, you can buy bus tickets, track work-out sessions, watch movies, play a game, or record your next social media video post. Arm provides the computational superpowers of the modern-day smartphone. Billions of users benefit from our technology every day, with a performance unheard of only a few years ago!

Our Arm designs power smartphones, self-driving cars, smart-watches, data-centres and just about any imaginable piece of electronics in the world. By joining our team in Trondheim, you will learn more about how we design our GPUs, CPUs, AI accelerators and other world-class intellectual property!

In 2006 Arm acquired Falanx, a small Norwegian start-up developing Graphics Processing Units. That Trondheim based team now counts over 200 employees from more than 30 different nationalities. Here, the team combines hiking, skiing, and trips on the fjord with developing Mali™, the world's most shipped GPU.
