GPU Software Development Engineer

Job Title

GPU Software Development Engineer

Role Summary

Work on validation, tooling, and AI-driven automation for Intel GPU graphics drivers and related software across pre-silicon and post-silicon phases. The role focuses on building scalable automated tests, debugging driver and system issues, and applying GenAI techniques to test content and tooling.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (OS, BIOS, hardware, customer engineering, and graphics software) to deliver performant, power-efficient, and debuggable hardware/software solutions. This position is eligible for a hybrid work model.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting specifies either a Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of relevant experience or a Master's degree with 7+ years of software development or validation experience.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include:

• Define validation strategy and create test plans for GPU drivers and system software.
• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests and scalable test frameworks for kernel-mode drivers, memory managers, virtualization, and compute/display workloads.
• Develop tools and AI/ML solutions to automate validation and accelerate debugging and triage.
• Perform validation across pre-silicon emulation/simulation and post-silicon platforms, including functionality, power, performance, and debuggability checks.
• Drive issue resolution and debugging across hardware and software stacks, working with firmware, OS, and hardware teams.
• Analyze test data, document findings, and communicate results to engineering stakeholders across geographies.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications and skills:

• Hands-on programming experience in C/C++ and scripting with Python.
• Proven experience defining validation strategies, developing automated tests, and driving debug to resolution.
• Understanding of Generative AI and LLMs and experience applying them to information retrieval or automation workflows.
• Strong experience with graphics drivers, GPU hardware, and low-level GPU programming.
• Experience working on systems-level hardware/software product development teams.
• Strong technical attention to detail, data analysis, documentation, problem solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate across distributed teams and learn quickly.

Nice-to-have:

• Kernel-mode driver development experience (power management, memory management, scheduler, virtualization).
• Experience applying AI/ML techniques to structured and unstructured data and using LLM fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT), RAG, prompt engineering, and agentic/skill-based workflow automation.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of software development or validation experience, or Master's degree with 7+ years of software development or validation experience.
