Principal GPU Systems Architect (Poland)

Job Title

Principal GPU Systems Architect

Role Summary

Lead the architecture definition and delivery of next-generation PowerVR GPUs. Work with senior leadership, research, modelling, product and implementation teams to define roadmap, specify architectural features, and drive trade-offs to meet power, performance, area and bandwidth targets.

Experience Level

Senior - principal-level role. Significant professional experience in GPU architecture or similarly large, complex system architecture is expected; no specific years-of-experience stated.

Responsibilities

Technical leadership across architecture, specification and validation.

• Define and deliver detailed architectural feature specifications for GPU generations.
• Perform deep analysis to meet PPA (power, performance, area) and bandwidth goals.
• Collaborate with research to map novel algorithms to efficient hardware implementations.
• Work with modelling and performance teams to evaluate ideas and set performance targets.
• Coordinate with product to shape a forward-looking GPU roadmap.
• Support implementation and verification teams during design and bring-up.
• Engage with customers and industry standards bodies as required.
• Participate in engineering reviews and recommend improvements; document technical decisions.
• Protect IP by filing patents where appropriate.

Requirements

Core skills and experience required to perform the role.

• Proven experience with GPU architecture or equivalent experience on large, complex systems.
• Good understanding of modern 3D graphics and compute APIs (for example Vulkan, D3D12, OpenCL).
• Familiarity with digital ASIC design methodologies and the constraints they impose.
• Ability to plan, estimate and track work independently.
• Track record of leading architecture exploration and delivering tangible feature specifications.
• Ability to evaluate design vs verification trade-offs to maximise engineering ROI.
• Strong technical communication skills; able to justify decisions to varied audiences.

Education Requirements

No specific degree is stated. The posting emphasizes practical experience in GPU architecture and digital ASIC design; familiarity with functional safety standards such as ISO26262 is mentioned as a desirable additional skill.
