About The Position

Position Summary Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy – the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us! Role and Responsibilities Perform semiconductor engineering research, design, development, and/or testing for firm products and/or devices for use in the electronic communication industry. Work as part of the GPU Architecture team as a key contributor in identifying important graphics/compute workloads and developing benchmarks used to analyze and validate our GPU's performance targets. Explore and contribute to the graphics pipeline, while supporting in different aspects of GPU development. Analyze the benchmarks' performance, identify bottlenecks, and propose solutions. Work on the dynamic/static performance model and emulation, and optimize both mobile games and AAA games, including raytracing, Nanite and Neural rendering. Work closely with the architecture, SW, and design teams to understand the architecture and micro-architecture of the GPU and its units and to triage and fix performance-related issues. Identify architecture, micro-architecture, and implementation optimizations to improve the performance of the GPU and its units. Develop tools and methodology to correlate and validate performance models for performance tracking and projection Contribute towards current and future plans strategy.
