About this role
Graphcore is seeking a Director of Product Engineering to build and lead the manufacturing operations capability that drives yield, quality and cost across their semiconductor production lifecycle. Based in Hsinchu and reporting into the Product Test and Diagnosis team, you would own how Graphcore's AI compute products move from launch into high-volume manufacturing, working across chip fabrication, test, PCBA assembly and system-level production. The role spans multiple geographies—Bristol, Cambridge, India, the US and Taiwan—requiring you to set direction, remove ambiguity and build technical capability across distributed teams and manufacturing partners.
This position demands extensive hands-on experience in semiconductor or test engineering combined with proven people leadership. You'll need deep statistical and data analysis skills—SPC, DOE, regression analysis, hypothesis testing and six sigma methods—along with practical ability to work with large manufacturing datasets using Python, SQL or JMP. Success in this role means driving measurable improvements in yield, quality and cost in high-volume production environments, grounded in production data and engineering judgment rather than theory alone.
The team values technical depth paired with the ability to think strategically, act decisively and speak up when quality or yield requires action. Graphcore offers flexible working, generous leave, matched pension contributions, phantom equity, and a collaborative office environment in Taiwan. If you have led teams across geographies and solved hard manufacturing problems with data-driven rigor, this role offers the scope to shape product engineering standards at a company building next-generation AI hardware.
