You’ll bring fresh ideas, put your learning into practice and help shape what we’re creating. Along the way, you’ll tackle challenging problems with a team who welcome your questions and support you as you build your skills and confidence. \nWhat you’ll be doing \nPut your engineering foundations to work exploring how advanced AI hardware moves from design into manufacture. \nAs a Manufacturing Operations Intern in Manufacturing Operations Team, you’ll contribute to a defined project or set of tasks supporting silicon packaging or printed circuit board assembly production in Taiwan. \nDepending on your project, your tasks could include analysing performance data, helping investigate hardware or software issues, or supporting quality planning and process checks. You could also help review component information or bills of materials. Your contribution will help the team understand manufacturing performance and identify improvements to quality, cost or delivery. \nYour team and support \nYou’ll join Manufacturing Operations in Bristol, working alongside Product Test, Quality and Supply Chain. Colleagues across the UK, Taiwan and India collaborate with design teams and development partners to solve manufacturing challenges. \nExperienced engineers and operations specialists will guide you through your tasks and help you understand how data and customer requirements inform decisions. You can ask for help as you investigate a problem, share your findings and use feedback to improve your work. \nDecisions are shaped by evidence, engineering judgement and open discussion. As an intern, you’ll be encouraged to ask questions, speak up and try out ideas early, with support from experienced colleagues as you learn. \nHow you’ll learn and grow \nOver the 12 weeks, you’ll explore how engineering decisions affect a finished product and its journey through a global supply chain. \nWorking with manufacturing data and practical investigations will help you connect your studies with real production challenges. You’ll practise comparing approaches, organising your work and explaining your findings, gaining a clearer sense of where a career in manufacturing engineering could take you. \nYour internship is a chance to explore a future at Graphcore. Depending on your performance and the roles available, there may be an opportunity to join one of our graduate programmes once you’ve graduated. \nWhat we're looking for \nCurrently studying towards a degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field \nA basic understanding of semiconductor or electronics design and manufacturing principles, gained through study, projects or practical work \nSome experience using programming or technical tools such as Python, Linux, Bash or Git \nThe ability to analyse data, approach problems methodically and explain your findings clearly \nPrevious industry experience is not required. Tell us what you built or investigated through coursework, laboratory work, personal or team projects or other relevant experience, how you approached it and what you learned. \nBenefits \nFlexible working: Find a balance between your internship and life outside work \n5 days of annual leave: Take time to rest and recharge during your 12-week internship \nLife in the office: Get to know your colleagues in spaces designed for collaboration, with free food, a great selection of ice cream and an on-site barista \nLearning and development: Build your skills and explore your interests with access to O’Reilly, our online learning platform \nWe welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work. \nWe’re an equal opportunity employer and recognise that everyone brings different strengths and perspectives. If you need any adjustments during the interview process, just let us know - we’re happy to support you. \nSponsorship \nApplicants must already have the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the programme, without requiring visa sponsorship. We are unable to sponsor work visas for our Early Careers opportunities.\nIntroduction to Graphcore \nAt Graphcore, we’re building next generation AI compute: From semiconductors and software to systems at datacenter scale.
