About the job

Lead the team that proves our AI silicon performs reliably before it reaches customers.

You will build and lead Graphcore's characterisation capability for next generation silicon and system platforms. Your work will help ensure our products perform consistently across real world conditions.

You will define bring up and characterisation strategies, lead technical execution, and shape the lab infrastructure needed for success. You'll work across silicon, hardware, manufacturing, architecture and product teams to solve complex engineering challenges.

This is a hands on leadership role with the opportunity to influence both product design and how Graphcore validates future AI systems.

The team and culture

This is a newly formed team within Manufacturing Operations. You'll have the opportunity to establish how the team works while building strong partnerships across engineering and operations.

Day to day, you'll work closely with architecture, silicon, hardware, production test and product teams. Decisions are driven by data, technical evidence and close collaboration across disciplines.

We value ownership and clear communication. You'll be trusted to lead technical direction, remove blockers and help teams make progress with confidence.

What we're looking for

Essential

Proven track record of delivering complex technical projects as an individual contributor, manager, or project manager, with the ability to work independently and drive execution.
Strong expertise in silicon digital device design, bring-up, characterisation, and silicon process technologies, with an understanding of their impact on transistor- and system-level performance.
In-depth knowledge of high-performance processors, system-on-chip (SoC) architectures, and high-speed digital interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR.
Experience with measurement automation, data analysis, and scripting/coding to develop automated test and analysis workflows, with familiarity of ATE systems and their capabilities.
Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills, supported by a bachelor's degree (or equivalent practical experience).

Desirable

Knowledge of PCBA and system level technologies.  
Project management experience.

Benefits

Unlimited annual leave
Up to 5% matched pension
Phantom equity – share in Graphcore's success
True flexibility in how and where you work
Office spaces designed for collaboration
Free food and an on-site barista
Health cash plan
Income protection
Life assurance
Along with other benefits you can choose from (private medical insurance, dental plan etc)

We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work.

We're an equal opportunity employer and recognise that everyone brings different strengths and perspectives. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, just let us know. We're happy to support you.
