GPU Software Development Engineer

Job Title

GPU Software Development Engineer

Role Summary

Join the Graphics validation team to develop automated validation tools, large-scale test frameworks and AI-driven solutions for GPU driver and graphics stack validation. The role covers pre-silicon emulation/simulation through post-silicon product launch and requires collaboration with OS, BIOS, hardware, customer engineering and multiple software teams.

Experience Level

Senior. The posting expects senior-level experience (see Education Requirements for degree guidance).

Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities are focused on software validation, automation and AI-enabled tooling for GPU graphics and compute software.

• Design and implement automated validation tests and complex test tools for kernel-mode drivers, memory managers, virtualization and compute/graphics workloads.
• Develop AI/ML solutions and workflows to scale and improve validation (including model-driven test content and retrieval/agent workflows).
• Define validation strategy and test plans; drive debug and issue resolution across HW/SW boundaries.
• Work across teams (OS vendors, BIOS, hardware design, customer engineering, graphics software teams) to integrate tests and validation flows.
• Support pre-silicon simulation/emulation and post-silicon bring-up with focus on functionality, power, performance and debuggability.
• Analyze validation data, document findings, and improve testing processes and tooling.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, practical experience and personal skills required to perform the role.

• Proficient in C/C++ and scripting with Python.
• Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras or scikit-learn.
• Practical experience defining validation strategy, creating test plans and developing automated tests at scale.
• Familiarity with Generative AI and LLMs (knowledge of Claude, GPT, Opus) and applying them for information retrieval, agentic workflows, or test content generation.
• Strong experience with graphics drivers, GPU hardware and low-level GPU programming, and ability to interpret GPU specifications for software validation.
• Experience working on systems-level hardware/software product development teams and collaborating across geographies.
• Strong analytical, documentation, problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability and willingness to learn new technologies quickly.

Nice-to-have:

• Kernel-mode driver development experience (power management, memory management, scheduler, virtualization) and OS concepts.
• Experience customizing RAG pipelines, model fine-tuning techniques (LoRA, PEFT) and other LLM tuning/engineering approaches.
• Proven use of AI/ML on structured and unstructured data for practical applications.
• Experience with prompt engineering, agentic/skill-based workflow automation, retrieval re-ranking and hierarchical parsing techniques.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree (with ~8+ years experience) or Master's degree (with ~7+ years experience) in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
