About the job Debug the high-speed interfaces that decide whether advanced AI systems perform in the real world. As a Validation and Debug Engineer, you will help prove Graphcore silicon and platforms work across real product conditions. You will build deep knowledge of our devices, boards and system behaviour. You will own hands-on validation and debug in the lab, focused on SerDes, PCIe Root Complex and Ethernet. Your work will help resolve complex issues across silicon, hardware, firmware and architecture teams. This role is for someone who enjoys getting close to the hardware. You will tune links, investigate failures and turn difficult lab findings into clear engineering decisions. The team and culture You will work closely with Architecture, Silicon Engineering, Hardware Engineering and Firmware. Progress comes through practical evidence, clear communication and fast problem solving. The team expects ownership without daily oversight. You will drive bring-up, debug issues and help teams reach decisions based on data. You will be trusted to speak up when something is unclear or risky. The best ideas can come from anyone close to the problem.
