Your work will protect silicon quality before designs move into physical implementation.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>The team and culture</strong></p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>What we're looking for</strong></p> <ul> <li>Verification experience in CPU, ASIC or closely related silicon environments</li> <li>Experience with UVM, SVA, assembly, compilers, Git or DRMS tools</li> <li>Ability to plan verification work and drive functional coverage to closure</li> <li>Strong debugging skills across RTL, software and shared verification infrastructure</li> <li>Confident in SystemVerilog and Python</li> </ul> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Benefits</strong></p> <p>· Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility<br>· Generous leave: Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work <br>· Retirement planning support: Up to 5% matched pension<br>· Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success<br>· Workplace experience: Enjoy thoughtfully designed office spaces for collaboration, with free food and an on-site barista to support your day<br>· Peace of mind protection: Income protection and life assurance to provide financial security for you and your loved ones<br>· Electric Vehicle Scheme: Choose an electric vehicle and lease it through salary sacrifice<br>· Flexible benefits: Tailor your benefits package with a choice of additional options, including private medical insurance and dental cover<br>· Optional benefits: Dental cover, health cash plan, private medical insurance, cycle to work scheme, give as you earn</p> <p>We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work.<br>We’re an equal opportunity employer and recognise that everyone brings different strengths and perspectives.
