Manufacturing Operations Summer Intern 2027

What you’ll be doing

Put your engineering foundations to work exploring how advanced AI hardware moves from design into manufacture. 

As a Manufacturing Operations Intern in Manufacturing Operations Team, you’ll contribute to a defined project or set of tasks supporting silicon packaging or printed circuit board assembly production in Taiwan. 

Depending on your project, your tasks could include analysing performance data, helping investigate hardware or software issues, or supporting quality planning and process checks. You could also help review component information or bills of materials. Your contribution will help the team understand manufacturing performance and identify improvements to quality, cost or delivery. 

How you’ll learn and grow

Over the 12 weeks, you’ll explore how engineering decisions affect a finished product and its journey through a global supply chain. 

Working with manufacturing data and practical investigations will help you connect your studies with real production challenges. You’ll practise comparing approaches, organising your work and explaining your findings, gaining a clearer sense of where a career in manufacturing engineering could take you. 

Your internship is a chance to explore a future at Graphcore. Depending on your performance and the roles available, there may be an opportunity to join one of our graduate programmes once you’ve graduated. 

What we're looking for

• Currently studying towards a degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field 
• A basic understanding of semiconductor or electronics design and manufacturing principles, gained through study, projects or practical work 
• Some experience using programming or technical tools such as Python, Linux, Bash or Git 
• The ability to analyse data, approach problems methodically and explain your findings clearly 

Previous industry experience is not required. Tell us what you built or investigated through coursework, laboratory work, personal or team projects or other relevant experience, how you approached it and what you learned.
