- As a UX Design Intern, you’ll create sketches, wireframes and interface designs for software that helps users understand, optimise and debug workloads running on Graphcore hardware. You’ll support usability research and help turn findings into insights that inform design decisions
- You’ll also create and refine components for Decagon, our design library, with guidance from the team. Your contributions will help make technical workflows more intuitive and give you a practical view of designing for a specialist audience
- Over the 12 weeks, you’ll explore how user-centred design principles apply to a technical product. Research and usability work will help you understand users’ needs, while sketches, wireframes and interface designs will give you ways to test and communicate your thinking
- Working on Decagon will help you understand how reusable components support consistent experiences. You’ll develop your judgement about what makes a design useful and gain a clearer sense of the UX work you’d like to pursue
- 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
