Python jobs in United Kingdom

At Graphcore, we’re building the future of AI compute.

We’re a team of semiconductor, software and AI experts, with deep experience in creating the complete AI compute stack - from silicon and software to infrastructure at datacenter scale.

The Silicon team are responsible for designing the silicon chips produced by Graphcore in leading node technologies and using the leading EDA Tools. Silicon is divided into three areas, that all work closely together:

Logical design and DFT team; responsible for realising architectural intent in a form that can be physically implemented and subsequently manufacturing level tested.

• In this team you’ll be iterating with Architectural, Verification, Physical & Operations teams to define the microarchitecture and produce testable RTL as above.

Verification team; ensure that our chips perform in accordance with their specification and that their implementation is similarly accurate.

• You’ll learn modern CPU and ASIC verification methodologies such as constrained random test generation and functional coverage and use those skills to verify our chips meet their specification.

Physical Design team; take the logical RTL and produce final transistor level layout (GDS) ready to send to a foundry for manufacture.

• You will gain experience with modern physical implementation steps including, but not limited to, synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, physical design checks, power integrity, logical equivalence.
• Our designs are in leading edge technology nodes which bring a lot of interesting challenges to solve, a very good environment to learn the latest silicon design techniques.

All 3 roles involve using industry standard EDA tools which you will become familiar with.

• On track or achieved a 2:1 or above in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or related subject area
• Able to evidence your technical skills in C/C++ or Python (2 or 3), for example through hobbies, projects or previous work experience. We are also keen to understand your technical skill level.
• A highly motivated, curious, self-starter, willing to take action, as proven through extra-curricular activities or hobbies beyond your studies
• Strong team-working and excellent interpersonal skills
• Passionate with a keen interest to learn about the exciting new field of AI

We are not looking for an instant expert but graduates with the hunger to learn, develop and contribute to Graphcore's future.

In addition to a competitive salary, Graphcore offers flexible working, a generous annual leave policy, private medical insurance and health cash plan, a dental plan, pension (matched up to 5%), life assurance and income protection. We have a generous parental leave policy and an employee assistance programme (which includes health, mental wellbeing, and bereavement support). We offer a range of healthy food and snacks at our central Bristol office and have our own barista bar!

We welcome people of different backgrounds and experiences; we’re committed to building an inclusive work environment that makes Graphcore a great home for everyone. We offer an equal opportunity process and understand that there are visible and invisible differences in all of us. We can provide a flexible approach to interview and encourage you to chat to us if you require any reasonable adjustments.
