Senior Technical Project Manager

About the job

Own the plan that turns complex test strategy into manufacturing readiness for new Graphcore products.

As Senior Project Manager within Product Test and Diagnosis, you will plan and coordinate manufacturing test delivery for New Product Introductions. You will connect activity across Chip Test, Board Test, System Test, Lab and Silicon Characterisation teams.

Your work will help Graphcore move from product roadmap to manufacturing readiness with clarity and control. You will align engineering, operations and external partners around scope, milestones, risks and decisions.

You will build end-to-end plans, manage dependencies and keep technical programmes moving across regions. You will also coordinate DfX reviews and improve how test, lab and characterisation work is planned.

This role sits where hardware, manufacturing and execution meet. You will help teams see what is coming and act before risks become blockers.

The Team and culture

The Product Test and Diagnosis team identifies and diagnoses hardware defects across silicon, boards, server blades and rack-scale systems. The team owns test strategy across manufacturing and deployed field environments.

Work happens across global teams in the UK, Taiwan, India and the United States. You will bring structure, pace and ownership to work spanning engineering, operations and manufacturing partners.

Decisions are made through clear plans, visible risks and practical trade-offs. You will help teams speak up early, align fast and take responsibility for delivery.

What we’re looking for

· Strong programme and project management skills across hardware-centric, cross-functional programmes.
· Ability to tailor delivery methods, including waterfall, Agile or Scrum, to fit technical delivery.
· Experience driving alignment across engineering, operations and geographically distributed teams.
· Confidence managing complex dependencies across technical teams, suppliers and manufacturing constraints.
· 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. We also welcome engineers returning to the profession after a career break, including through returnship routes.
