Manufacturing Operations Summer Intern 2027

Overview

Graphcore offers a 12-week summer internship within its Manufacturing Operations team based in Bristol, UK. Participants gain practical experience on real projects, working alongside colleagues in the UK, Taiwan, and India. The programme starts in June 2027 and provides an opportunity to explore a career in manufacturing engineering and potentially transition into a graduate programme after completing your degree.

Who can apply

Applicants must currently study towards a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Candidates are required to already possess the right to work in the UK for the full duration of the programme without needing visa sponsorship, as the organization cannot sponsor work visas for early careers opportunities. Previous industry experience is not required.

What you get

The internship pays a salary of 2500 GBP per month and includes 5 days of annual leave. Interns benefit from flexible working options and office perks such as free food, ice cream, an on-site barista, and access to the online learning platform O’Reilly.

Requirements

Candidates need a basic understanding of semiconductor or electronics design and manufacturing principles acquired through studies, projects, or practical work. Applicants must also have some experience using technical tools or programming languages such as Python, Linux, Bash, or Git, along with the ability to analyse data, approach problems methodically, and explain findings clearly.

How to apply

To submit an application, candidates must answer the application questions and upload a CV and cover letter. Applicants are encouraged to apply early since applications may close before the stated deadline.

Key dates

The application deadline is midnight on 29th November. Applicants will be notified of their application outcome by early December at the latest, with successful candidates invited to complete a technical assessment and later an in-person assessment in early spring. The internship begins in June 2027.
