Description
About the job
Own the component choices that help Graphcore products reach manufacturing with quality built in.
As Component Engineer, you will support NPI and volume manufacturing across Graphcore’s hardware products. You will help specify, select and source the components needed for performance, reliability, quality and yield.
Your work will connect engineering requirements with supplier capability and manufacturing reality. You will manage component data, BOM revisions, compliance checks, supply risks and alternative sourcing routes.
You will work with manufacturing, test, quality, supply chain, suppliers and contract manufacturers. You will also help identify enabling component technologies for next generation products.
This role suits someone who enjoys detail, electronics and practical problem solving. You will influence decisions that protect product delivery and strengthen manufacturing resilience.
The team and culture
You will join the Manufacturing and Technology Process team within Operations. The team works across Bristol, Cambridge and Taiwan, close to foundry, package assembly and PCBA subcontractors.
Work happens through clear ownership, careful data management and direct engagement with internal and external partners. You will speak up when component risk, quality or supply continuity needs action.
Decisions are grounded in technical evidence, supplier insight and manufacturing impact. The team values people who act responsibly, move issues forward and keep complex details under control.
What we're looking for
· Strong electronics knowledge, including component parameters, datasheets and practical selection trade-offs
· In depth working knowledge of BOM management and sourcing systems, such as Arena and Silicon Expert
· Good understanding of PCB manufacturing and SMT assembly processes
· Ability to understand interactions between silicon, package and PCB design
· Experience working with electronics supply chain suppliers, preferably including offshore contract manufacturers
· Strong communication, organisation and problem solving skills, supported by Excel, Power BI or similar tools
While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate.
Benefits
· 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
· 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.
