Job Overview

We are looking for a motivated engineer to join Arm’s Developer and Platform Enablement Center of Excellence (CoE) and contribute to the evolution of Arm’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. This role focuses on expanding the MCP server’s knowledge base with high-quality technical content for Arm technologies, extending its evaluation framework, and ensuring MCP capabilities are effectively published and integrated across SDKs and MCP registries.

Our team works on software development methodologies, educational content, example software, and development tools. Our top priority is ensuring that developers can successfully adopt Arm technology. We work across multiple computing segments, including servers and cloud, mobile, laptops, and embedded systems, enabling a broad range of developer use cases.

As part of a dynamic team, you will build and prototype scalable solutions while driving developer enablement and technical advocacy across the Arm ecosystem. In this context, you will help shape how AI agents interact with Arm platforms by improving the quality, accessibility, and reliability of MCP-powered developer experiences. The most important requirement is curiosity, adaptability, and a passion for new technology.

You will work at the intersection of AI agents, developer tooling, and Arm platforms, helping enable accurate, high-quality interactions between AI systems and Arm-based software and infrastructure. Within the CoE, you will contribute to scalable developer enablement practices across Arm, ensuring consistent, high-quality experiences for developers adopting Arm technologies through AI-assisted systems.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the expansion of the MCP server knowledge base by crafting detailed technical materials for Arm technologies (e.g., documentation, examples, usage patterns) and curating existing content
  • Extend and improve the MCP server evaluation framework to support new Arm technologies, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and performance of AI-generated outputs
  • Implement and refine evaluation methodologies for agentic workflows, including prompt quality, retrieval accuracy, and tool usage
  • Publish, package, and maintain MCP server integrations across different SDKs and MCP registries, ensuring compatibility, discoverability, and ease of adoption
  • Define standard processes for distributing MCP capabilities, including versioning, schema management, and integration patterns across ecosystems
  • Collaborate with internal teams, developers, and partners to identify gaps in knowledge coverage, evaluation, and distribution for Arm platforms
  • Prototype and validate MCP use cases that demonstrate effective AI-assisted development workflows on Arm
  • Contribute to technical content such as learning paths, demos, and guides that showcase MCP capabilities and Arm integrations

Required Skills and Experience :

  • Bachelors (BS) or Masters (MS/MSc) in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
  • Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) or exposure to MCP-like systems
  • Experience in software development (Python or C ) on Linux environments
  • Familiarity with APIs, developer tools, or systems that support AI workflows (e.g., RAG, tool invocation, or prompt-based systems)
  • Experience packaging, publishing, or distributing developer tools, SDKs, or APIs
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to translate developer needs into practical solutions

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :

  • Experience with evaluation frameworks for AI/ML systems or developer tools
  • Understanding of Arm architecture and software ecosystem
  • Experience working with retrieval-based systems, vector databases, or benchmarking methodologies
  • Ability to collaborate effectively in a distributed team environment

Salary Range: $170,900-$231,200 per year
