Subject to alignment to the responsibilities and duties of the role
At Graphcore, we’re building the future of AI compute.
We’re a team of semiconductor, software and AI experts, with deep experience in creating the complete AI compute stack - from
silicon and software to infrastructure at datacenter scale.
As part of the SoftBank Group, backed by significant long-term investment, we are delivering key technology into the fast-growing
SoftBank AI ecosystem.
To meet the vast and exciting AI opportunity, Graphcore is expanding its teams around the world.
We are bringing together the brightest minds to solve the toughest problems, in a place where everyone has the opportunity to make
an impact on the company, our products and the future of artificial intelligence
We are looking for a senior engineer to design and evolve an application-level simulator for ML workloads that directly influences
hardware and software architecture decisions.
This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and hardware design. You will model real-world workloads, predict
system behaviour, and provide insights that guide how our platform evolves.
Success in this role requires not only strong technical depth, but also the ability to work closely with multiple teams to ensure
the simulator reflects reality and drives meaningful decisions.
The Tenjin team focuses on building advanced simulation capabilities to model and predict the behaviour of large-scale ML
workloads on next-generation hardware and software platforms.
We operate at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and architecture, developing tools that enable data-driven decisions
long before systems are fully built or deployed. Our work helps shape both hardware and software direction by providing early
insights into performance, scalability, and efficiency.
The team brings together engineers with backgrounds in simulation, ML systems, and computer architecture. We collaborate closely
with ML engineers, performance teams, and silicon architects, but operate as an independent group focused on simulation as a core
capability.
In addition to a competitive salary, Graphcore offers annual leave policy, medical and dental health plans, a gym card, and
employee pension (matched up to 4%). We review our benefits on a yearly basis to ensure we offer a valuable and rewarding benefits
programme to our employees. We welcome people of different backgrounds and experiences; we’re committed to building an inclusive
work environment that makes Graphcore a great home for everyone. We offer an equal opportunity process and understand that there
are visible and invisible differences in all of us. We can provide a flexible approach to interview and encourage you to chat to
us if you require any reasonable adjustments.
