full-timeStaff Soc Architect
Graphcore · Bristol
Shape the high-speed interfaces and silicon sub-systems behind Graphcore’s next AI acceleration platforms. As a Staff SoC Architect in Bristol, you’ll translate product requirements into specifications for complex, highly integrated, high-performance silicon devices. You’ll own sub-system architecture, modelling, validation and evaluation, connecting early design choices with practical implementation. You’ll help determine how critical components work together, balancing product needs with implementation trade-offs. Those choices will support the specialised compute that lets AI innovators tackle more demanding problems. You’ll assess third-party hard and soft IP, work with vendors and specify how sub-systems integrate across the platform. You’ll also contribute to silicon bring-up, characterisation and evaluation when your expertise is needed. Your contribution won’t stop at a specification document. You’ll deepen your understanding of AI acceleration by seeing how architectural decisions play out in working silicon. The team and culture Reporting to the Director of Silicon Architecture, you will be working with processor, SoC and system architects. Silicon design, verification, hardware and software engineers are partners in evaluating options and checking implementation correctness. You’ll represent the team in cross-functional working groups, making trade-offs clear and speaking up when designs need further scrutiny. You’ll help teams move forward by resolving complex bugs and improving engineering processes. Mentoring engineers will let you share your judgement and help others develop theirs. What we’re looking for A degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or a related subject. A solid understanding of computer and SoC architecture. Experience writing clear technical specifications. Knowledge of RTL development and verification processes. The ability to explain design choices clearly and work across engineering teams. Confidence working across programming languages, with the initiative to take ownership of technical problems. 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. 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 · 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
