Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy – the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us!
Role and Responsibilities
As a Senior GPU Front-End Integration Engineer, you will contribute to top-level RTL integration of complex GPU blocks and subsystems to deliver scalable, high-quality implementations for Samsung’s next-generation mobile GPUs.
In this mid-to-senior individual contributor role, you will partner closely with architecture, RTL, verification, and other design teams to help resolve system-level challenges, support front-end integration strategy, and ensure execution readiness to meet market-competitive performance and power targets across concurrent GPU development cycles. You bring curiosity and knowledge in GPU/CPU RTL integration knowledge, front-end ASIC flows, and a collaborative mindset that aligns teams and accelerate delivery of GPU IPs.
Skills and Qualifications
2+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/relevant technical field, or a Master's degree.
