Arm is pleased to announce the launch of the Arm Innovator Program in collaboration with Hackster.io, the leading community dedicated to learning hardware. The Arm Innovator Program is a new initiative to help support the global ecosystem of Arm developers, highlight the impressive work happening around the world based on Arm technology and share key domain knowledge from top technical experts building solutions on Arm with a wider audience.
Without further ado, we’re excited to announce the first group of Arm Innovators below; you’ll learn more about them later in the blog:
With over 100 billion processors shipped since 1991, the Arm ecosystem consists of a vast number of talented individuals solving problems in every imaginable domain. Arm Innovators are technical leaders helping to extend Arm architecture and sharing their experience in a wide variety of exciting areas including:
In coming months, we will be working with our Innovators to produce and deliver content, workshops, solutions, guides, webinars, live streams and blog posts to spread awareness and high-quality educational materials to support developers working in these areas. This content will be hosted on Hackster.io, as well as the Arm Community. We will also be adding new Innovators over the next few years.
We want to thank Hackster.io (part of Avnet, Inc.) and our Innovators for helping us to make this program possible!
John Teel is founder of Predictable Designs, a company which helps entrepreneurs, startups, makers, inventors, and small companies develop and launch new electronic products. John was formerly a senior design engineer for Texas Instruments where he created circuit designs now used in millions of popular electronic products (including some from Apple). In fact, you probably own a product or two that uses one of his designs. He is also a successful entrepreneur who developed his own hardware product, had it manufactured in Asia, and sold in over 500 retail locations in three countries.

Orlando is a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University interested in wearables, personalized health, and engineering education. He is also founder of Calvary Engineering LLC ,a start-up devoted to developing tools for biomedical engineering education. His technical research involves developing wearable/mobile health platforms to assist rehabilitation patients in overcoming addiction. On the education side, he develops fun, educational workshops and activities to excite engineering students about studying biomedical engineering and challenge themselves to branch out and explore engineering principles outside of their curriculum.

As Arm introduces new technologies, such as DynamIQ, with significantly more powerful Arm cores such as the new Arm Cortex-A75, and the Arm Compute Library, we are looking for technical leaders who are pushing the envelope for where Arm architecture can go. Deep Learning, Automotive, Computer Vision and Aerospace are only a few examples (see a full list above). Furthermore, we value great technical communicators and evangelists who focus on sharing their knowledge with others. We also strongly value those who bring diverse perspectives and backgrounds to the table.
Any area where low-power Arm processors can go. There are so many amazing solutions being built on Arm we are always learning about new areas of exploration. Surprise us!
Send us an email: innovators@arm.com and we can discuss further. Slots are limited!
