Graphcore Bristol
Owns the safe, reliable operation of Graphcore's Bristol electronics labs, managing test equipment, lab infrastructure, ESD controls, goods in/out, maintenance planning and technical readiness. Builds and mentors a technician team supporting hardware bring-up, validation, characterisation and product test, working closely with Facilities, Supply Chain, Quality and Hardware Engineering.
Graphcore Bristol
Hands-on lab role validating and debugging memory and system interfaces on advanced AI compute hardware, focusing on LPDDR5-9600, slow-speed interfaces, PCB issues, power behaviour and signal integrity. You own board bring-up, root cause analysis and memory subsystem tuning, working closely with architecture, silicon, firmware and PCB design teams.
NVIDIA Cambridge
Hands-on development of kernel generation and computational graph optimizations for next-generation NVIDIA GPUs, solving complex compilation problems for AI inference and training workloads. The role involves co-designing future silicon with software, hardware and research teams, and optimizing datacenter-scale AI deployments using MLIR, C/C++ and Python.
NVIDIA Cambridge
Develops algorithms and optimizations for NVIDIA's LPX inference and compiler stack, building high-performance runtime and compiler components and mapping large-scale neural network workloads onto future hardware. Involves LLVM/MLIR work, graph transformations, scheduling and memory/layout optimizations, plus close codesign with hardware architects.
Graphcore Bristol £45,000 pa
Join the Drivers and Utilities team to plan, build, test and improve kernel drivers and user space driver libraries at the boundary of hardware and software. You'll write low-level code, create unit tests, review code, support continuous integration and contribute to design discussions, with a buddy and Scrum team supporting your development.
Graphcore Bristol
Lead a team of hardware engineers developing power, timing and control circuits for AI compute hardware, providing schematics and electrical constraints for PCB layout. Line-manage and coach engineers, coordinate reviews and corrective actions, and plan tools and compute resources. Work cross-functionally with SI/PI, layout, mechanical, thermal, systems and firmware teams through to production.
Graphcore Bristol
Lead a team of signal and power integrity specialists, shaping requirements, design margins and acceptance criteria across silicon, package, PCB and system boundaries. Line-manage engineers, coordinate analysis and hardware correlation, and connect integrity work with design, firmware, test and manufacturing colleagues. Methods and knowledge built by the team are intended to outlast individual designs.
Graphcore Bristol
Lead advanced manufacturing test strategy for complex circuit board assemblies, defining methods and evaluation criteria across optical and X-ray inspection, in-circuit test, boundary scan and functional test. Set direction, mentor engineers and work closely with design, manufacturing, silicon and CEM partners to improve defect coverage and diagnostic resolution.
Graphcore Bristol
Owns yield, quality and cost outcomes for advanced semiconductor products from launch through high-volume manufacturing, spanning chip test, PCBA and rack-scale systems. Partners with OSATs and internal test, quality and data teams, using SPC, DOE and Python/SQL/JMP analysis to turn manufacturing data into action.
Graphcore Bristol
Designs circuit solutions for AI processor systems and validation platforms, turning requirements into schematics, layout constraints and testable hardware. Owns boards from first schematic through bring-up, lab validation, debug and production transfer, working closely with silicon, architecture, firmware and PCB CAD teams.
Graphcore Bristol
Provide technical leadership on complex power-delivery challenges across silicon, package, PCB and voltage regulation. Define modelling strategies, analyse PDN impedance, voltage droop and transient response, and drive power-integrity issues to resolution while mentoring engineers and aligning cross-disciplinary teams.
Graphcore Bristol
Lead the system software organisation delivering firmware, drivers, OpenBMC and system software QA for Graphcore's AI compute platforms. The role owns platform bring-up, production release and long-term support, aligning technical decisions with business priorities and delivery milestones while developing managers and technical leaders across hardware, silicon and software boundaries.
