As a Silicon Verification Engineer, you will help ensure Graphcore RTL matches the architecture specification. Your work will protect silicon quality before designs move into physical implementation. You will sit where architecture, logical design and verification meet. You will directly influence how issues are found, understood and resolved before they become costly. You will plan verification, define coverage, generate tests and diagnose failures. You will also improve shared infrastructure that helps engineers move faster and identify problems earlier. The work is technically deep, with clear impact on our silicon. You will help build the discipline, pace and quality needed for ambitious AI compute programs at scale. The team and culture The verification team works closely with Architecture, Logical Design and Physical Design. Clear plans, coverage goals, test results and direct technical feedback shape the work. You will take ownership, follow evidence and keep communication open across sites. The team values people who speak up early and make complex problems easier to solve. Decisions are driven by technical reasoning, shared data and practical trade-offs. You will have room to lead through your expertise, not just your title. What we're looking for Verification experience in CPU, ASIC or closely related silicon environments Experience with UVM, SVA, assembly, compilers, Git or DRMS tools Ability to plan verification work and drive functional coverage to c

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, verification processes or logical design · Ability to work across architecture, design, verification, hardware and software teams · Domain knowledge in areas such as PCIe, DDR, LPDDR, Ethernet or on-chip networks · Motivation to take ownership, mentor others and drive practical decisions Benefits Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with great
