The Internship Programme at Graphcore
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
Put your programming skills to work exploring how firmware brings AI hardware to life, from first boot to system monitoring.
As a Firmware Engineering Intern, you’ll contribute to firmware for Graphcore’s next-generation products. Working closely to with our silicon and hardware teams, you’ll contribute to software that supports hardware bootup and provides telemetry and monitoring data that helps data centre operators understand what the hardware is doing.
Your tasks could include writing code, develop unit tests and investigate behaviour on hardware using logs, oscilloscopes and logic analysers. You’ll contribute to a shared codebase and see how software decisions affect physical systems.
Your team and support
The Firmware team sits within System Software and works with teams across Graphcore and our partners. You’ll report to the Firmware Manager and work alongside engineers connecting silicon, hardware and software.
