Senior Project Manager

About the job

Build the programme that turns complex hardware into manufacturing ready products.

As Senior Project Manager in Product Test and Diagnosis, you will shape delivery across manufacturing test solutions for NPI. Your work will connect silicon, board, system, lab and characterisation activity into one clear programme.

You will help Graphcore anticipate technical and operational challenges before they block manufacturing readiness. That means creating visibility, aligning owners and driving decisions across global teams and external partners.

You will define plans, manage dependencies, coordinate DfX reviews and keep delivery focused on outcomes. You will also improve how NPI and NPD work happens across test, lab and characterisation.

This role suits someone who can bring structure to complexity without slowing progress. You will turn ambiguity into momentum.

The team and culture

Product Test and Diagnosis defines and executes Graphcore’s test strategy across silicon, boards, server blades and rack scale systems. The team diagnoses hardware defects across manufacturing and deployed field environments.

Work happens across regions, disciplines and partners. Engineers in the UK, Taiwan, India and the United States move quickly, share ownership and connect detail to product delivery.

Decisions are made through clear plans, visible risks and direct communication. You will be expected to take responsibility, speak up and help teams move with confidence.

What we're looking for

• Strong project and programme management skills across hardware centred, cross functional delivery

• Ability to tailor waterfall, Agile, Scrum or other methods to the work in front of you

• Experience aligning distributed technical teams around scope, ownership, timelines, dependencies and outcomes

• Confidence managing complex dependency networks across engineering, operations and manufacturing

• Working knowledge of tools such as JIRA, Confluence, MS Project or equivalent

• Experience in semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, manufacturing test, lab or silicon characterisation programmes

While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. If you meet most of our essential criteria, we encourage you to submit an application and showcase how your background makes you a strong candidate.

Benefits

• Flexible working: Balance your work and personal life with greater flexibility

• Generous annual leave: Take time to rest, recharge and enjoy life outside of work

• Enhanced healthcare coverage: Private medical insurance alongside Taiwan's National Health Insurance scheme for added peace of mind

• Phantom equity: Share in Graphcore’s success

• Family healthcare options: The opportunity to extend healthcare coverage to your family members

• Financial protection: Life and critical illness insurance to help safeguard you and your loved ones.

• Proactive wellbeing support: An annual health assessment allowance to help you stay on top of your health

• Eye care reimbursement: Support towards the cost of maintaining your vision and eye health

We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences and are committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best work. We’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.

Sponsorship Applicants must have the legal right to work in Taiwan. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship or support visa applications for this role.
