By closing critical risks before build milestones, you’ll help teams ramp production with controls they can trust. You’ll turn yield, defect and rework trends into targeted improvements that strengthen manufacturing performance and prevent recurring quality issues.
You’ll lead process audits and investigations, taking manufacturing and supplier issues from containment through corrective action to verified closure. Each build will deepen your understanding of Graphcore hardware and help you carry lessons into stronger processes across factory sites.
The team and cultureYou’ll join Manufacturing Operations’ Quality team, working with colleagues in Bristol, Cambridge and Hsinchu. Their expertise spans customer, supply chain and product quality, alongside compliance, governance and assurance.
You’ll align Graphcore stakeholders and factory leaders around evidence, clear priorities and practical recovery plans. Speak up early about material risks, bring options and agree owners and deadlines to turn decisions into action.
What we’re looking for- Hands-on manufacturing quality experience in server, electronics systems, ODM/EMS or contract manufacturing environments, including direct factory-floor engagement.
- Ability to lead contract manufacturer quality discussions independently, influence factory management and drive cross-functional actions without direct reporting authority.

- Practical knowledge of quality metrics, process audits, PFMEA, control plans, SPC and structured problem-solving using 8D and 5 Why.
- Strong stakeholder management, concise English reporting and sound escalation judgement, with accountability for resolving quality issues.
- Willingness to work regularly at contract manufacturer sites and travel within Taiwan and internationally according to business needs.
