Staff Engineer

Summary 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 Perform semiconductor engineering research, design, development, and/or testing for firm products and/or devices for use in the electronic communication industry. Design and develop GPU architectures that meet the performance, power, and area (PPA) requirements for ML workloads. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software, system, and validation engineers to ensure seamless integration of GPU architectures with ML frameworks and applications. Analyze and optimize ML algorithms, including deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and neural networks, to maximize GPU performance and efficiency. Develop and maintain architecture models, performance models, and simulation tools to evaluate and optimize GPU designs. Work closely with system architects to ensure GPU architectures are optimized for system-level performance and power efficiency. Keep abreast of the latest advancements in ML and GPU technologies, leveraging this knowledge to drive innovation and differentiate Samsung's GPU products in the marketplace. Develop and maintain technical specifications, architecture documents, and design guides for GPU architectures. Work with other teams to ensure successful implementation of GPU architectures in Samsung's products, including SoCs, GPUs, and ASICs. Engage in the development of technical road maps and strategies for ML workloads.
