Description
You will lead the team that proves Graphcore's 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 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.)
