Your work will help new products reach manufacturing with risks understood, processes controlled and components that consistently meet specifications.\nOn supplier sites, you’ll assess manufacturing capability, traceability and change control, then turn audit findings into actions that prevent defects. When issues arise, you’ll drive containment, root-cause analysis and corrective action, verifying that fixes work before you close them.\nYou’ll build technical depth across server-grade components and modules, understanding their manufacturing processes, failure modes and reliability risks. Expect work that connects hands-on factory investigation with the bigger challenge of building a dependable supply chain for AI compute.\nThe team and culture\nYou’ll join Quality within Manufacturing Operations, working with colleagues in Bristol, Cambridge and Hsinchu. Their expertise spans customer, supply chain and product quality, giving you perspectives beyond your assigned commodities.\nYou’ll work directly with engineering, sourcing, operations and suppliers, using quality data and manufacturing evidence to agree practical actions. Set priorities independently, speak up early about material risks and keep actions visible so suppliers stay accountable.\nWhat we’re looking for\nAn engineering degree or equivalent practical background, with hands-on supplier quality, supplier development, manufacturing quality or process engineering experience.\nTechnical understanding of at least one server-grade component or module category, and the ability to learn additional commodities.\nAbility to lead supplier audits independently, evaluate manufacturing risks and drive cross-functional actions to closure.\nPractical knowledge of supplier qualification, process controls, PFMEA, control plans, SPC and structured problem-solving using 8D or 5 Why.\nClear English reporting, effective supplier-facing communication and stakeholder management, with sound judgement about when to escalate.\nWillingness to travel within Taiwan and internationally for supplier audits, qualifications, issue resolution and new product introduction.\nWhile 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.\nBenefits\n· Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility\n· Generous annual leave: Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work\n· Enhanced healthcare coverage: Private medical insurance alongside Taiwan's National Health Insurance scheme for added peace of mind\n· Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success\n· Family healthcare options: The opportunity to extend healthcare coverage to your family members\n· Financial protection: Life and critical illness insurance to help safeguard you and your loved ones.\n· Proactive wellbeing support: An annual health assessment allowance to help you stay on top of your health\n· Eye care reimbursement: Support towards the cost of maintaining your vision and eye health\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.
