ArmJob Title
2027 Master's Thesis Projects - ML Hardware Verification (Lund)
Role Summary
Master's thesis positions in Lund working with Arm engineers on hardware verification for machine learning accelerators. Students will develop and evaluate verification methods, build prototypes, and assess results in industrial verification environments.
Projects include LLM-assisted workflows for coverage closure and graph-based analysis of verification stimuli; alternative thesis proposals are also considered.
Experience Level
Internship / Master's student level. Role is intended for current master's students completing a thesis project.
Responsibilities
Work under engineer supervision to design, implement and evaluate a thesis project related to ML hardware verification.
- Define and execute experiments, build prototypes, and run verification workflows.
- Develop and evaluate tools or analyses (examples: LLM-assisted coverage workflows, graph-based stimulus analysis).
- Collect and analyse results, measure verification quality and effort, and document findings.
- Collaborate with verification engineers, attend team meetings and present progress.
- Prepare a written thesis and final presentation; for alternative projects, supply a detailed proposal before starting.
Requirements
Key qualifications and conditions for applicants.
- Strong interest in hardware verification and verification methodologies.
- Basic understanding of machine learning and neural networks; solid mathematical skills.
- Professional proficiency in English.
- Right to work in Sweden for the full duration of the thesis project; Arm cannot provide visa sponsorship for this role.
- Nice to have: experience or familiarity with UVM/testbench environments, scripting (e.g. Python), data/graph analysis, or working with LLM-based tools.
- Nice to have: collaborative mindset, attention to detail and the ability to communicate results clearly.
Education Requirements
Applicants must be currently enrolled in and studying towards a master’s degree with an affiliation to a Swedish university or college (including via exchange programmes).
