The role

About the job

Lead the team that proves our 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 our 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.
