Explore a career at Graphcore through a 12-week summer internship, gaining hands-on experience on real projects. You’ll bring fresh ideas, put your learning into practice and help shape what we’re creating. Along the way, you’ll tackle challenging problems with a team who welcome your questions and support you as you build your skills and confidence.
What you’ll work on
Bring your curiosity, bright ideas and problem-solving skills to the chips behind tomorrow’s AI systems.
As a Silicon summer intern, you’ll join one of our four specialist Silicon teams: logical design, verification, physical design or design for test (DFT). You’ll contribute to real chip development, learning from experienced colleagues and building your understanding of how advanced AI chips are designed, verified and prepared for manufacture.
Depending on your team, you’ll work on areas such as register-transfer level (RTL) design, SOC integration, verification methods, physical implementation or the critical role of DFT. You’ll use industry-standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools and take ownership of clear tasks, with support from experienced engineers.
How you’ll learn and grow
During the 12-week programme, you’ll develop practical silicon engineering skills in the team you join, building on the fundamentals you’ve learned through your studies and projects.
Hands-on tasks will help you learn modern design techniques and use industry-standard EDA tools. You’ll build skills in areas such as RTL, verification, timing or physical design, depending on your team’s focus.
Feedback from reviews and practical problem solving will help you develop your technical judgement, explain your approach and understand how your work fits into the wider chip development process. Bring your curiosity and willingness to learn; we’ll support you as you build your knowledge and confidence.
