Silicon Validation Software Engineer- GPU IP ...

Silicon Validation Software Engineer - GPU IP Validation and IntegrationLocation: Cupertino, California, United States | Department: HardwareDescriptionYou will be writing shaders that stress the GPU and cause high bandwidth traffic to and from the memory subsystem. You will apply your deep understanding of GPU architecture to write tests that stress the pipeline and exercise the interaction between the GPU and different IP blocks on the SoC. You will use the necessary driver and firmware APIs to compile shaders and perform operations to move data around in the SoC using GPU threads/SIMD groups. You will understand the different levels of GPU memory hierarchy (Shared, Global, etc.) and debug SoC software and hardware issues, performing system-level validation.Minimum QualificationsBachelor's degree in a relevant field with at least 10 years of industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or related fields.Preferred QualificationsExperience with Graphics, OpenGL, and CUDA.Understanding of the GPU pipeline and graphics theory.Knowledge of system and SoC architectures.Experience with image processing, memory hierarchies, and compilers.Ability to implement and run ML/LLM workloads for GPU characterization.Proficiency in Python and GNU Make.Deep understanding of compute systems, operating systems, and computer architecture.Passion for writing hardware-close code and debugging.Extensive experience in SoC system-level validation and debugging of software and hardware issues.Meticulous, curious, and persistent validation mindset.This role offers a base pay range between $181,100 and $318,400, depending on skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
