UK AI chip and system developer Graphcore is ramping up for its next generation chip design.

The company was recently bought by Softbank in Japan and is creating 75 new jobs across logical and physical design and verification in Bristol and Cambridge as well as AI research in those sites and in London.

This is intended to strengthen the company’s talent base as it develops the next generation of AI compute, it says, after job cuts in 2022. The roles also include hardware and datacentre infrastructure in Gdańsk, Poland and Hsinchu City, Taiwan. 

“Graphcore is a place where people can come to do their very best work.” said Graphcore CEO Nigel Toon. “Whether your expertise is in silicon, systems, software, AI research or any of the other functions that we are expanding, this is a chance to work at the leading-edge of the field.” 

Softbank says Graphcore is playing a central role in its work to further the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) alongside ARM and would “continue to invest in the creation of high-skilled jobs spanning a range of disciplines”, particularly in the UK.

“Next generation semi-conductors and compute systems are essential in the AGI journey, we’re pleased to collaborate with Graphcore in this mission,” said Vikas Parekh, Managing Partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers in June 2024. 

Details are on the jobs section of Graphcore’s website.
