We bet everything on the logical conclusion: that the only way to truly unlock this latent value, to make speed viable at scale, was to radically re-invent the hardware that we run our frontier AI models on. Ever since, we have been building chips and systems that tackle this problem: how to efficiently generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts.\nThe workloads that push to the limits of the current frontier are already transformational; it is the technical and economic limits on inference speed that are constraining progress. The defining work of the 21st century will be marked by the engine of inference delivering immense and diffuse chains of intellectual inquiry, in drug discovery, in software engineering, in materials discovery, in any field where progress is driven by deep reasoning and intelligence to resolve complex problems. \nWe’re looking for a detail-oriented Lab Technician to keep our Bristol labs running safely and reliably. You’ll support hardware engineers with testing, setup and equipment upkeep in a fast-paced AI hardware company.\nKey responsibilities\nRun routine tests and measurements across both Bristol labs, following established procedures\n\nSet up, maintain, calibrate and troubleshoot lab equipment\n\nCarry out basic soldering and small rework tasks as needed\n\nRecord results accurately and keep clear, traceable logs\n\nUphold health and safety procedures, including housekeeping, equipment safety checks and proactively reporting risks\n\nSupport audits, risk assessments and safe working practices, including for lone working\n\nHelp improve lab processes and SOPs\n\nKeep both labs organised and stocked, and hand over clearly on the days you’re not in\n\nRequirements\nExperience in an electronics, hardware or lab environment\n\nStrong attention to detail and a methodical approach to documentation\n\nSolid understanding of workplace health and safety, with a proactive approach to it\n\nAble to work independently and as part of a team across two labs\n\nRight to work in the UK\n\nDesirable\nExperience in or around data centres\n\nBasic soldering and rework skills (IPC or similar training is a plus)\n\nKnowledge of liquid cooling systems\n\nA health and safety qualification (e.g. IOSH or NEBOSH)\n\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary: A competitive salary reflective of your experience and the specialist nature of the role.\n\nEquity & Ownership: meaningful equity so everyone shares in the value creation\n\nBenefits: Private Medical, Dental and Vision, Contributory Pension, 25 Days holiday plus bank holidays and Life/Critical Illness Insurance.\n\nDiverse & fun office: we believe the hardest problems get solved by the broadest range of minds. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a diverse team and building an inclusive environment.\n\nFractile is seeking to increase the clock speed of global progress, one chip at a time. We’ve recently raised $220M from investors including Founders Fund and Accel and our most important work lies ahead. Join us!\n Export controls\nOur work involves technologies subject to UK, US and other international export control regulations. Certain roles may require additional eligibility checks to ensure compliance with applicable law. We'll be transparent about this throughout the hiring process.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3589,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Compute & Inference","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T11:38:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-10T06:21:00+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":160,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-10T06:52:35Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fractile-lab-technician","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fractile-lab-technician.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T09:33:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22223,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51523},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51523"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffractile-lab-technician"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffractile-lab-technician"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffractile-lab-technician"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fractile-lab-technician\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffractile-lab-technician"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3960828}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fractile.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3960828},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
