Description
We encourage you to apply early for this 12-week summer internship, gaining hands-on experience on real projects at Graphcore, a company building next-generation AI compute.
As a UX Design Intern, you'll create sketches, wireframes, and interface designs for software that helps users understand, optimise, and debug workloads running on Graphcore hardware. You'll support usability research, help turn findings into insights that inform design decisions, and create and refine components for Decagon, our design library.
Your team and support: You'll join sprint activities, design reviews, and research, seeing how designers and engineers develop ideas together. Your manager, Lucy, will work with you to build your skills, make time for learning, and shape your career. You'll also have a buddy to help you settle in, alongside a team of experienced designers keen to share what they know and help you develop.
How you'll learn and grow: Over the 12 weeks, you'll explore how user-centred design principles apply to a technical product. Research and usability work will help you understand users' needs, while sketches, wireframes, and interface designs will give you ways to test and communicate your thinking. You'll develop your judgement about what makes a design useful and gain a clearer sense of the UX work you'd like to pursue.
What we're looking for:
- Currently studying towards a degree in UX, Interaction Design, Graphic Design, Computer Science, or a related subject
- Basic experience using design tools such as Figma or Adobe XD
- A strong interest in UX/UI design and user-centred design principles, with a portfolio featuring coursework or personal projects
- Clear communication, curiosity, and willingness to learn from feedback
Benefits:
- Flexible working: find a balance between your internship and life outside work
- 5 days of annual leave: take time to rest and recharge during your 12-week internship
- Life in the office: get to know your colleagues in spaces designed for collaboration, with free food, a great selection of ice cream, and an on-site barista
- Learning and development: build your skills and explore your interests with access to O'Reilly, our online learning platform
