Manufacturing Test Engineer – Server Hardware Graphcore is a globally recognised leader in Artificial Intelligence computing systems. The company designs advanced semiconductors and data centre hardware that provide the specialised processing power needed to drive AI innovation, while delivering the efficiency required to support its broader adoption.    As part of the SoftBank Group, Graphcore is a member of an elite family of companies responsible for some of the world’s most transformative technologies. We are opening a new AI Engineering Campus in Austin, which will play a central role in Graphcore's work building the future of AI computing.  Role Overview We are seeking an experienced  Manufacturing Test Engineer  to support high-volume server manufacturing from board-level test through system-level production test. This role will work closely with an ODM manufacturing partner to define, implement, validate, and optimize the manufacturing test strategy for  L6 board-level products , including  ICT, MDA, and Board Functional Test , as well as support  L10 system-level manufacturing test . The ideal candidate has strong experience in server hardware manufacturing, Linux-based test environments, diagnostic test coverage, fixture requirements, yield improvement, and root cause corrective action processes. This role requires both technical depth and hands-on manufacturing execution experience, with the ability to drive best practices across test development, factory readiness, quality planning, and ongoing production support.   Key Responsibilities Manufacturing Test Strategy and Planning Work with ODM partners to define and execute the manufacturing test strategy for  L6 board-level production . Develop and review test plans covering: In-Circuit Test, or ICT Manufacturing Defect Analyzer, or MDA Board Functional Test Diagnostic coverage requirements Manufacturing line test flow Failure detection and containment strategy Ensure test plans provide appropriate coverage for board-level defects, assembly issues, component-level failures, and functional performance requirements. Partner with hardware engineering, design validation, diagnostics, operations, quality, and ODM teams to align manufacturing test coverage with product risk areas. L6 Board-Level Test Development and Deployment Define requirements for board-level test stations, fixtures, test software, diagnostic content, and production test infrastructure. Support the development, validation, and release of board functional tests into the ODM manufacturing environment. Review ICT and MDA coverage reports and drive improvements to ensure adequate manufacturing defect detection. Define pass/fail criteria, test limits, data collection requirements, retest rules, and failure handling processes. Support bring-up, debug, and qualification of manufacturing test processes during NPI and production ramp. L10 System-Level Manufacturing Test Support development and deployment of  L10 system-level manufacturing test  processes. Port board functional tests into the L10 manufacturing environment where appropriate. Ensure L10 test coverage validates system-level integration, board functionality, firmware readiness, thermal behavior, power behavior, I/O functionality, and platform health. Work with ODM and internal engineering teams to ensure test execution is scalable, repeatable, and suitable for high-volume server production. Manufacturing Line and Fixture Requirements Specify manufacturing line requirements for test station configuration, test sequencing, data capture, networking, tooling, and operator workflow. Define requirements for test fixtures, cabling, adapters, load boards, debug interfaces, power delivery, signal access, and fixture maintenance. Ensure fixtures and test stations me
