How much do arm trusted firmware jobs pay per year?

As of Sep 9, 2026, the average yearly pay for arm trusted firmware in the United States is $167,438.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $143,000.00 and $205,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is Arm Trusted Firmware?

Arm Trusted Firmware (ATF) is an open-source project that provides a reference implementation of secure world software for Arm Cortex-A processors. It implements the Arm Trusted Firmware specification, including Secure Monitor and EL3 runtime firmware, to enable secure boot, system initialization, and trusted services such as secure storage and cryptographic operations. ATF is commonly used as the firmware layer that ensures trusted execution environments and enforces security boundaries in devices running Arm architectures.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Arm Trusted Firmware engineer?

To thrive as an Arm Trusted Firmware Engineer, you need a solid background in embedded systems, C programming, and computer architecture, typically with a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with tools like Git, build systems (e.g., Make, CMake), and experience working with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and the Arm Trusted Firmware codebase are essential. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating on complex security projects. These abilities ensure secure, robust firmware development that meets industry standards and protects sensitive systems.

What are some common challenges faced by engineers working on Arm Trusted Firmware, and how can they prepare for them?

Engineers working on Arm Trusted Firmware often encounter challenges such as ensuring compatibility across a wide range of hardware platforms, maintaining strict security standards, and keeping up with frequent updates to the Arm architecture. To prepare for these challenges, it’s helpful to have a strong understanding of embedded systems, security protocols, and experience with low-level programming (especially in C). Collaboration with silicon vendors and other system software teams is a key part of the role, so good communication skills and familiarity with collaborative development tools are important.

Job description

About Marvell

Marvell's semiconductor solutions are the essential building blocks of the data infrastructure that connects our world. Across enterprise, cloud and AI, and carrier architectures, our innovative technology is enabling new possibilities.

At Marvell, you can affect the arc of individual lives, lift the trajectory of entire industries, and fuel the transformative potential of tomorrow. For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead.

Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell's firmware engineering teams span multiple cutting-edge domains, giving you the opportunity to work on technologies that power next-generation cloud, AI, storage, and networking solutions. Firmware engineers may contribute to secure, high-performance firmware for compute and custom ASIC platforms, embedded software for SSDs, or trusted firmware stacks for hardware security modules. Other teams focus on networking innovation, developing tools and firmware for dynamic services, or creating embedded solutions for high-speed PAM4 DSP chips and optical communication links. Across all groups, you'll collaborate with hardware and software engineers to deliver robust, scalable solutions that enable Marvell's leadership in data infrastructure.

What You Can Expect

As a Firmware Engineer Intern at Marvell, you could:

  • Develop and maintain embedded firmware for advanced hardware platforms, including data center, AI devices, SSD controllers, DSP networking chips, and high-speed PAM4 DSPs.
  • Design and implement device drivers and firmware features for communication protocols (SPI, I2C, I3C, UART, MDIO, PCIe, NVMe) and RTOS-based systems.
  • Participate in full product lifecycle: concept, design, implementation, testing, validation, and release to customers.
  • Create and enhance automation scripts (Python, shell, bash) for testing, failure analysis workflows, and infrastructure management.
  • Develop provisioning software and trusted firmware stacks to enable advanced security features for SoCs, including cryptography and secure protocols (TLS/SSL, IPSec).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Hardware, System, QA, Customer Solutions) for integration, debugging, and performance optimization.
  • Design and execute unit, system, and integration tests, including regression planning and continuous integration (Jenkins).
  • Support lab testing and data analysis, including tool development for debugging, proof-of-concept preparation, and customer documentation.
  • Work on mission-critical features for top-tier cloud customers and gain exposure to DSP concepts (Equalizers, Filters) and networking fundamentals (Ethernet, TCP/IP, OSI model).
  • Debug complex hardware/software issues, drive root cause analysis, and manage fixes through issue tracking systems (e.g., Jira).

What We're Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in a MASTER'S Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with an expected graduation date between Fall 2027 and Summer 2028
  • Strong problem-solving, verbal, and written communication skills
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C
  • Comfortable working in Windows or Linux-based development environments
  • Understanding of computer architecture, networking fundamentals (OSI model, TCP/IP), and/or embedded systems

Knowledge or experience with any of the following technical skills:

  • Git, GitHub, or Gerrit
  • Linux, Makefiles, GDB, IDEs, and bash scripting
  • ARM CPU, RISC-V, TrustZone, Caliptra, or Trusted Firmware
  • RTOS architecture, device drivers, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, I3C, UART, USB, PCIe, MDIO)
  • Security protocols (IPSec, TLS/SSL, SPDM, digital certificates, cryptography)
  • DSP concepts (Equalizers, Filters, ADC, DAC, FFE, DFE)
  • Python/bash scripting, Jenkins CI, and software regression planning
  • GUI development, lab automation, and customer SDKs
  • Ethernet, SERDES, Switches, and Routers
  • Unit testing, system integration, and debugging tools

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

34 - 68, $ per hour.

The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.

This role is eligible to participate in Marvell's bonus and equity plans, including a new hire equity grant and annual equity refreshers, ensuring you are rewarded for your contributions and remain invested in the company's long-term success.
