GPU Architect

Job Title

GPU Architect

Role Summary

Design and advance GPU hardware features for graphics and parallel computing. Work within the GPU Architecture team to specify, simulate, validate and verify functional and performance models that drive next-generation GPU designs.

Collaborate with architects, researchers, and implementation teams to build simulators, testing infrastructure, and validation plans for new architecture features.

Experience Level

Mid-level — 3+ years of professional experience in relevant fields (architecture, graphics, parallel processing, signal processing, or high performance computing).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include architecture design, modelling, validation, and test development.

• Investigate and design new hardware features for future graphics and parallel processing architectures.
• Document designs and develop tools to analyze, simulate, validate and verify functional and performance models.
• Develop tests, test plans, and testing infrastructure for graphics and parallel-processing features.
• Work with simulators, RTL, and silicon for validation and performance analysis.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams of architects, researchers, and engineers.

Requirements

Must-have experience and skills; pleasant to have items listed after.

• 3+ years working experience in computer architecture, graphics algorithms, parallel processing, signal processing, or high performance computing.
• Strong programming skills in C and C++; experience with Perl and Python.
• Experience developing tests, test plans, or testing infrastructure; familiarity with simulation and validation workflows.
• Ability to work with simulators and to engage with RTL and silicon teams.
• Good written and verbal technical communication skills for documentation and cross-team collaboration.

Nice-to-have: RTL design/verification experience, performance modeling, or advanced research experience.

Education Requirements

MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
