About the job
Start your engineering career helping build the silicon behind tomorrow’s AI systems.
As a Graduate Silicon Engineer, you will gain insight into how sophisticated AI chips are crafted, verified and prepared for manufacture.
You will join one of our silicon teams across logical compose and DFT, verification, or layout implementation. Each path gives you hands-on experience with real chip development and industry-standard EDA tools.
You will work close to expert engineers who explain the detail, challenge your thinking and help you grow. You will build practical skills in RTL, verification methods, timing, implementation or physical design checks.
You do not need to arrive as an authority. We are looking for graduates with strong fundamentals, curiosity and the aim to learn quickly.
The Team & Culture
Graphcore’s Silicon team turns high-reaching AI compute ideas into manufacturable silicon. Logical design, DFT, verification and physical design work closely with architecture, operations and other engineering teams.
You will learn through design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions and practical problem solving. Work is broken into clear tasks, with support available and ownership expected from the start.Decisions are made through evidence, engineering judgement and open challenge. Graduates are encouraged to ask questions, speak up and build confidence by contributing early.
