Staff Manufacturing Product Engineer

About the Position

Staff Manufacturing Product Engineer

Location: Bristol, UK

Shape how Graphcore products move from hardware design into reliable volume manufacturing.

As a Staff Manufacturing Product Engineer, you will support NPI development and volume production across complex hardware products. You will connect design, test, quality, and supply chain decisions with real manufacturing outcomes.

Your work will help ensure products are manufacturable, resilient, and ready for supplier capability. You will provide DfM feedback that improves PCB and system design before issues reach production.

You will work closely with contract manufacturers, especially during NPI and early volume manufacture. You will drive yield improvement, analyze production data, and resolve L6 and L10 manufacturing issues.

This role suits someone who enjoys practical engineering ownership across design and production. You will travel to Taiwan and work close to suppliers shaping next-generation manufacturing technologies.
