Graduate UX Engineer 2027

What you’ll work on

Put your design skills to work on clearer ways for people to understand complex AI workloads. 

In Graphcore’s UX team, you’ll help shape software used to understand and optimise workloads running on our hardware. Your work will make technical workflows easier to navigate and turn complex system behaviour into clear user experiences. 

With support from senior designers, you’ll create wireframes, high-fidelity designs and research materials. You’ll also help run usability studies, analyse findings and maintain our research repository, using what you learn to improve designs. 

How you’ll learn and grow

During the two-year programme, you’ll build skills across user experience (UX), user interface (UI) design, research and design systems through real product work. 

Creating designs and helping run usability studies will give you practical experience of exploring user needs, testing ideas and turning findings into improvements. Contributing to Decagon will help you understand how a shared design library supports consistent interfaces. 

Working with senior designers, engineers and product managers will help you explain your design decisions, respond to feedback and understand how user needs and technical constraints shape a product. 

What we’re looking for

• A degree in UX, Interaction Design, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Graphic Design or a related discipline 
• UX/UI design experience and a portfolio demonstrating your UX thinking, design process and visual skills 
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma or Adobe XD 
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with an interest in designing for complex, technical or business-to-business (B2B) software products 

Your experience can come from academic or personal projects, internships or placements. In your portfolio, show the problem you explored, how you approached it, the design decisions you made and what you learned.
