About The Position

We are the Windows Kernel Mode Driver Team within Intel's Client Graphics Division. Our primary objective is the development and deployment of robust and performant Windows kernel GPU drivers. These drivers are instrumental in unleashing the full potential of Intel's integrated and discrete GPU hardware for user-space clients, games, and applications. Our focus lies in managing critical low-level functions, including device activation, reset and power state transitions, workload submission, power conservation and scheduling, as well as collaboration with System-on-Chip (SOC) Intellectual Properties (IPs). With this charter, we conceive, create, and verify software solutions that serve as the link between user-space applications and the underlying GPU and SOC. If you thrive in an environment that involves working on system-level software, with regular exposure to diverse domains such as graphics rendering, firmware, SOC, and power management, then a role on our Kernel Mode Driver Team is where you should be. Your responsibilities include, but not limited to: Conceiving, developing, and validating innovative software features related to GPU and SOC for both integrated and discrete graphics products. Diagnosing intricate issues that traverse multiple layers of the driver stack, domains, and IP components. Analyzing telemetry data pertaining to device crashes and failures in real-world scenarios. Subsequently, you will formulate and execute actions to enhance the overall quality of our drivers. Join our team and be a part of driving excellence in kernel mode driver development for Intel's graphics solutions. As a successful candidate, you must possess: Self-starter who takes initiative and brings technical leadership and influence. Excellent problem solving, teamwork, and interpersonal skills.
