Hardware Development Engineer

About the job Build the hardware that turns new AI processors into working systems. As a Hardware Development Engineer, you will design circuit solutions for Graphcore processor systems and validation platforms. You will turn system requirements into schematics, layout constraints, and testable hardware. Your work will shape production systems and test boards used across development, validation, and customer enablement. You will help prove performance, margin, and reliability before designs move into volume production. Alongside silicon, architecture, software and PCB CAD specialists, you will make design decisions grounded in evidence. You will define validation plans, run lab campaigns, debug prototypes, and interpret results with firmware and architecture teams. This role suits someone who likes owning problems from first schematic to mass production readiness. Few roles connect board design, bring-up, validation, and production so directly. The team and culture Hardware Engineering builds production systems and test hardware around Graphcore processors. The team works close to silicon, architecture, firmware, software, and PCB CAD from the first requirement onwards. Engineers own designs through definition, schematic capture, layout support, bring-up, validation, and production transfer. Work moves quickly because problems are handled close to the lab, not passed between silos. The team makes decisions through evidence: measurements, design reviews, margin data, and open technical challenge. You will speak up, take responsibility, and help the team move with confidence. What we're looking for · Strong digital circuit design and validation skills, including DCDC regulators, power delivery, resets, clocks, and control interfaces. · Experience developing processor-based systems and working with interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, DDR, USB, QSPI and JTAG. · Practical lab depth in bring-up, debug, margin testing, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analysers and

About the job Build the test systems that prove advanced AI hardware is ready before it reaches production. As a Test Development Engineer, you will create and maintain test systems for Graphcore’s electronic hardware platforms. Your work will support preproduction test solutions across system and board-level products. You will define test methods, specify equipment and automate systems for complex hardware. This includes high-speed serial links, high-current power supplies, slower protocols and low-level PCBA debug. This role sits close to real engineering problems. You will build deep product knowledge, improve test coverage and help transfer robust solutions into production. The team and culture You will join the Hardware Test team, embedded within Graphcore’s wider Hardware Engineering group. The team works closely with SI, mechanical, layout, package, silicon, firmware and production teams. Work moves through practical test design, lab debug, automation and clear data. You will be trusted to take ownership and develop solutions that meet real hardware needs. The team values proactive communication across Graphcore and third-party support teams. Decisions are shaped by evidence, standards knowledge and the quality of the test data. What we’re looking for · Experience developing and automating test systems for complex electronic systems · Knowledge of Ethernet and/or PCIe testing, including high-speed hardware debug · Fluency in test scripting languages, including Python and LabView · Ability to plan test work, improve coverage and communicate progress clearly · Hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, BERTs and VNAs · Strong ownership, teamwork and communication skills across technical teams While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate. Benef

About the job Shape the power-delivery architecture behind Graphcore’s high-performance AI compute systems, from voltage regulation through package, PCB and silicon. As Staff Power Integrity Engineer, you will provide technical leadership on Graphcore’s most complex power-delivery challenges. Your analysis and judgement will directly influence architecture and product decisions. You will define modelling strategies, optimise decoupling and analyse PDN impedance, voltage droop, transient response and regulator interactions. You will turn complex results into clear engineering decisions, requirements and sign-off approaches. You will lead significant PI issues through resolution and create alignment across silicon, package, board, power, systems and validation teams. You will also develop reusable methods and mentor engineers, raising power-integrity capability across Graphcore. The team and culture The Signal and Power Integrity team sits at the centre of Graphcore’s hardware development. We work across disciplines to understand electrical behaviour and guide consequential architecture decisions. You will own complex PI problems and drive them through to resolution. Decisions are grounded in modelling, first-principles reasoning, hardware evidence and clear assessment of uncertainty. You will challenge assumptions, communicate risk clearly and help teams make pragmatic trade-offs. Technical influence matters more than reporting lines. What we’re looking for Deep practical expertise in power integrity and complex power-delivery network design. Strong understanding of PDN impedance, transient behaviour, voltage droop, resonance, stability and decoupling across high-current digital systems. Ability to reason across silicon, package, PCB, voltage regulation and system boundaries. Strong capability in electromagnetic modelling, circuit simulation, model extraction and selecting appropriate abstraction methods. Engineering judgement to assess model validity, uncertainty an
