Graduate Silicon Engineer

You will start your engineering career helping build the silicon behind tomorrow's AI systems. As a Graduate Silicon Engineer, you will gain insight into how sophisticated AI chips are crafted, verified and prepared for manufacture. You will join one of the silicon teams across logical compose and DFT, verification, or layout implementation, each path giving you hands-on experience with real chip development and industry-standard EDA tools. You will work closely with expert engineers who explain the detail, challenge your thinking and help you grow, building practical skills in RTL, verification methods, timing, implementation or physical design checks. You do not need to arrive as an authority — you just need strong fundamentals, curiosity and the drive to learn quickly.
