<div> <div> <h2>About the Role </h2> <p>You’ll help specialists shape requirements, design margins and acceptance criteria across silicon, package, PCB and system boundaries. Your team’s constraints and verification evidence will help design owners make informed trade-offs before problems become harder to resolve.</p> <p>You’ll line-manage engineers, shape their development, agree achievable delivery commitments, and plan for tools, licences and compute capacity. You’ll coordinate analysis and hardware correlation, ensuring discrepancies receive specialist attention and integrity issues reach review and closure.</p> <p>The methods and knowledge your team builds will outlast individual designs, strengthening how Graphcore approaches future signal and power challenges. Grow your leadership across interconnected engineering disciplines, combining people development with judgement that influences hardware from architecture to bring-up.</p> <h2>The team and culture</h2> <p>Signal and power integrity specialists retain technical ownership, rather than relying on one person to solve every problem.
