We have a range of graduate roles across our hardware teams. These opportunities are available within Central Engineering - Central Processing Unit, Central Engineering - Systems, Central Engineering – Productivity Engineering, Central Engineering – Systems, Sales and Partner Enablement and Solutions Engineering.

Each group offers a new perspective and challenge within the Hardware Career pathway. Use the 2025 Emerging Talent - UK Hardware 2025 (Graduates) guide to learn more about each business group. During the application process you can express interest for a specific Business Group or opt‑in to all groups.
