Hardware Design Team Lead

Bristol, UK

About the job

Lead the engineers behind the power, timing and control circuits that make Graphcore’s AI compute hardware work.

Your team’s schematics, component choices and electrical constraints will give PCB layout engineers complete inputs for implementing each design. You’ll help test and manufacturing teams understand expected behaviour, resolve circuit issues and take hardware through to production.

You’ll line-manage engineers, coach their development and agree achievable commitments, matching the work to available capacity. You’ll coordinate reviews and investigations, ensure corrective actions reach closure and plan ahead for tools, licences and compute resources.

Grow your leadership across the hardware lifecycle, drawing on specialist expertise rather than becoming the technical authority for every circuit. Build a more autonomous team whose methods and shared knowledge improve how Graphcore develops its next generation of hardware.

The team and culture

You’ll connect Hardware Design with SI/PI, PCB layout, mechanical, thermal, systems and firmware engineers across locations. Programme management owns the integrated plan; you’ll flag competing priorities early and bring practical options for resolving them.
