Master's Thesis Projects - ML Software (Lund, 2027)
Role Summary
Arm Lund offers supervised master's thesis projects in machine learning software focused on Neural Processing Units (NPUs) and edge ML inference. Students will execute a defined research or engineering project, implement experiments or prototypes, and produce a Master's thesis and final presentation.
Experience Level
Entry-level.
Responsibilities
Typical responsibilities for a Master thesis student in this program include:
- Execute a supervised research or engineering thesis on one of the listed ML software topics (e.g., speculative decoding for MoE, Vulkan ML emulation, operator scheduling).
- Design and run experiments on ML inference, profiling and performance measurement for NPUs or emulation layers.
- Implement prototypes or software in C/C++ and/or Python and use ML frameworks such as PyTorch.
- Analyze results, iterate on methods, and document findings in a formal thesis report.
- Present work to the team and participate in regular feedback sessions and collaborative activities.
Requirements
Key requirements and expectations:
- Strong understanding of machine learning concepts, neural networks and mathematics.
- Proficient programming skills in C, C++ and/or Python; experience with ML frameworks (for example, PyTorch).
- Professional proficiency in English for written and verbal communication.
- Right to work in Sweden for the full duration of the thesis project; Arm does not provide visa sponsorship for this role.
- Ability to collaborate with engineers and researchers; good attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
Nice-to-have:
- Familiarity with transformer/LLM architectures, Vulkan ML, NPU or micro-architecture concepts.
- Curiosity for ML systems, performance engineering and software-hardware interaction.
Education Requirements
Must be currently enrolled in a Master's degree program and affiliated with a Swedish university/college (directly or via an exchange program). Applicants should be prepared to submit a University Transcript (grade sheet) and an English CV. No visa sponsorship is available; applicants must already have the right to work in Sweden for the duration of the project.
