Job description

Keep the critical hardware behind Graphcore’s engineering labs tracked, available and moving when teams need it.

As our Asset & Inventory Operations Coordinator, you’ll help keep Bristol’s engineering and R&D infrastructure running smoothly. You’ll take ownership of accurate asset records and reliable inventory operations.

You’ll scan and reconcile assets, coordinate ordering and replenishment, and manage RMAs from return through replacement or credit. You’ll receive, label, stage and distribute hardware including servers, accelerators, networking parts, cabling and spares.

You’ll track hardware throughout its lifecycle and maintain stock readiness for break‑fix needs. You’ll also produce inventory health reports, document practical SOPs and support audit readiness.

This is a hands‑on role where careful execution directly supports engineering progress. You’ll work across Engineering, Lab Operations, IT and Supply Chain to improve how critical hardware flows.

The team and culture

Data Center Engineering and Systems Engineering build and operate the AI systems supporting Graphcore’s engineering and customer environments. Work spans servers, racks, networking, storage, system management and data center infrastructure.

You’ll work directly with teams that depend on accurate, available hardware. You’ll own day‑to‑day inventory activity, resolve exceptions quickly and keep records dependable.

Decisions are grounded in accurate data, clear processes and operational priorities. You’ll have scope to spot problems, speak up and improve workflows.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in inventory, asset management, lab operations, logistics or hardware operations.
• Confidence handling hardware, including receiving, labelling, staging and stocking equipment.
• Experience using inventory, asset, CMDB, ticketing, ERP or warehouse systems.
• Strong attention to detail when maintaining records across locations or storage areas.
• Confidence using Excel or Google Sheets for filters, pivot tables, lookup functions and reporting.
• Clear communication, sound prioritisation and a practical approach to supporting engineering teams.

While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. We also welcome engineers returning to the profession after a career break, including through returnship routes.

• Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility
• Generous leave: Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work
• Retirement planning support: Up to 5% matched pension
• Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success
• Workplace experience: Enjoy thoughtfully designed office spaces for collaboration, with free food and an on‑site barista to support your day
• Peace of mind protection: Income protection and life assurance to provide financial security for you and your loved ones
• Electric Vehicle Scheme: Choose an electric vehicle and lease it through salary sacrifice
• Flexible benefits: Tailor your benefits package with a choice of additional options, including private medical insurance and dental cover
• Optional benefits: Dental cover, health cash plan, private medical insurance, cycle to work scheme, give as you earn

We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work.
