Hardware Development Engineer

Graphcore is seeking a Hardware Development Engineer to work in Bristol, UK, creating circuit solutions for processor systems and hardware used to test and validate them. You will help take designs from requirements and schematics through lab testing and readiness for production, working closely with specialists across hardware, silicon, architecture, firmware, software and PCB design.

This role offers hands-on responsibility across board design, prototype bring-up and validation. The team uses measurements, technical reviews and test results to guide decisions and improve confidence in designs before they enter volume production.

What you'll do:

• Translate system needs into circuit designs, schematics and layout requirements.
• Plan and carry out validation work, including lab tests and margin checks.
• Bring up and debug prototype hardware, then interpret results with engineering colleagues.
• Support designs as they progress towards production transfer.

What they're looking for:

• Digital circuit design and validation experience, including power delivery, clocks, resets and control interfaces.
• Experience with processor-based systems and interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, USB, QSPI or JTAG.
• Practical lab skills with test equipment, alongside scripting and analysis using tools such as Python and Linux.
• Knowledge of server components and the confidence to take ownership and work across disciplines.
