The role involves developing control algorithms for complex robots, integrating control with learning components, and ensuring system safety under real-time constraints.
Overview
Arm is extending its "Arm everywhere" vision into robotics and embodied AI-where intelligence must operate under real-world constraints of latency, power, and safety. We are building a new robotics research lab in Austin focused on the science of integration-understanding how different paradigms (learning, control, planning) work together in real robotic systems, and how they map onto heterogeneous compute.
This role focuses on control, optimization, and safety as the foundation of deployable embodied AI. You will develop real-time control and safety-critical systems, and integrate them with learning-based components in hierarchical architectures. A key focus is ensuring that behavior can be bounded, verified, and enforced across the system.

In Return
You will help define how robotic systems are made safe, reliable, and controllable-shaping both Arm's research direction and the architectures that will power robots at global scale.

Hybrid Working at Arm
Arm's approach to hybrid working is designed to create a working environment that supports both high performance and personal wellbeing. We believe in bringing people together face to face to enable us to work at pace, whilst recognizing the value of flexibility. Within that framework, we empower groups/teams to determine their own hybrid working patterns, depending on the work and the team's needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.
Equal Opportunities at Arm
Arm is an equal opportunity employer, committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal opportunities are available to all applicants and colleagues. We are a diverse organization of dedicated and innovative individuals, and don't discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
