The Graduate Programme at Graphcore Join Graphcore in a permanent role and start your career with two years of hands-on learning. From day one, you’ll be trusted to take ownership, share your ideas and help shape what we’re creating. You’ll tackle challenging problems alongside a team who support your development and are as excited about your success as you are. What you’ll work on Put your engineering foundations to work on the electronic systems behind Graphcore’s AI compute platforms. This role spans Hardware Design and Signal Integrity. Depending on your interests, project needs and developing strengths, you could focus on either area or work across both. You’ll build broad board-level engineering skills while developing deeper expertise. In Hardware Design, you could develop circuits, select components, create schematics and work with PCB layout through review, bring-up and validation. Projects may involve digital and analogue circuitry, power sequencing, monitoring, board management or interfaces such as I2C, SPI and GPIO. As you grow, you’ll take ownership of scoped circuits or subsystems through to controlled design release. In Signal Integrity, you could analyse PCIe and Ethernet links, DDR memory interfaces, clocks and other timing-critical signals.
