SoC Architect

About the job

Shape the SoC architecture behind Graphcore’s next generation AI acceleration platforms. Graphcore is building AI compute systems that push far beyond a single chip. As a SoC Architect, you will define, specify and integrate critical subsystems for complex silicon devices. You will work across processor, SoC and system architecture to turn product requirements into practical design choices. Your work will influence performance, integration, modelling, validation and bring-up. This role is for someone who enjoys deep technical ownership and broad system context. You will help Graphcore deliver multiple AI silicon projects in parallel, at real scale. You will work on interfaces, interconnects and SoC subsystems that sit at the centre of advanced AI platforms. The problems are complex, visible and difficult to find elsewhere.

The team and culture

The Silicon Architecture team sits at the point where product ambition becomes silicon reality. Architects work closely with design, verification, hardware, software and systems teams. The team is growing because the scope is expanding. You will own meaningful technical areas, move quickly on decisions and keep momentum across groups. Ideas are tested through modelling, specification, discussion and evidence. People are expected to speak up, take responsibility and help others move faster.

What we're looking for

· Strong understanding of computer architecture, SoC architecture or complex silicon systems

· Experience writing clear technical specifications for engineering teams

· Knowledge of RTL development,
