About the job
Keep the critical hardware behind Graphcore’s engineering labs tracked, available and moving when teams need it.
As our Asset & Inventory Operations Coordinator, you’ll help keep Bristol’s engineering and R&D infrastructure running smoothly. You’ll take ownership of accurate asset records and reliable inventory operations.
You’ll scan and reconcile assets, coordinate ordering and replenishment, and manage RMAs from return through replacement or credit. You’ll receive, label, stage and distribute hardware including servers, accelerators, networking parts, cabling and spares.
You’ll track hardware throughout its lifecycle and maintain stock readiness for break-fix needs. You’ll also produce inventory health reports, document practical SOPs and support audit readiness.
This is a hands-on role where careful execution directly supports engineering progress. You’ll work across Engineering, Lab Operations, IT and Supply Chain to improve how critical hardware flows.
The team and culture
Data Center Engineering and Systems Engineering build and operate the AI systems supporting Graphcore’s engineering and customer environments. Work spans servers, racks, networking, storage, system management and data center infrastructure.
You’ll work directly with teams that depend on accurate, available hardware. You’ll own day-to-day inventory activity, resolve exceptions quickly and keep records dependable.
Decisions are grounded in accurate data, clear processes and operational priorities. You’ll have scope to spot problems, speak up and improve workflows.
What we’re looking for
- Experience in inventory, asset management, lab operations, logistics or hardware operations.
- Confidence handling hardware, including receiving, labelling, staging and stocking equipment.
- Experience using inventory, asset, CMDB, ticketing, ERP or warehouse systems.
- Strong attention to detail when maintaining records across locations or storage areas.
- Confidence using Excel or Google Sheets for filters, pivot tables, lookup functions and reporting.
- Clear communication, sound prioritisation and a practical approach to supporting engineering teams.
While we have outlined a set of requirements, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences. We also welcome engineers returning to the profession after a career break, including through returnship routes.
