Lead SoC Architect GPU, Graphics

Samsung Research America, Mountain View, California, us, 94039


Lab Overview:

In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.The Samsung SOC Lab vision provides innovative SoC architecture, bus / memory subsystem, multimedia subsystems and key IP blocks for future Samsung Galaxy products (Smartphones, tablets and future devices). We are defining the high performance SoC architecture development for various Galaxy device lineups. This lab collaborates with Samsung's strategic SoC partners, Samsung MX headquarter team, and key R&D teams around the globe to innovate and reinvent technology that will positively impact millions of people around the world via the Galaxy flagship products.

Position Summary:

We are looking for a Lead SOC Architect for next generation SOCs. This is a highly visible hands on role leading individual and team contributions to GPU sub-system architecture, interface, performance and power tradeoffs.

Position Responsibilities:

Guide on development of innovative GPU Architectural and microarchitectural features to boost PPA (Performance, Power and Area) on various targeted workloads in next generation SOCs

Identify and deliver GPU subsystem architecture proposals for products in new and existing markets

Evaluate architecture proposal benefits in collaboration with team of SoC Architects and communicate the results across related engineering audiences (SW, HW, Architecture, Leadership)

Perform high-level performance modeling/simulation and analysis of GPU features, applications, benchmarks, and complex uses cases

Direct and orchestrate performance modeling, and studies to support inclusion of these features in the next generation “Fabric, System cache and DRAM controller” microarchitecture based on performance, area or power improvement

Deliver architecture/microarchitecture proposals and specifications to the design team and articulate them effectively across audiences ranging from hardware & software engineers to architecture community peers, and to technology leadership

Collaborate with silicon bring-up and product teams to verify and debug the proposal and its delivered performance

Collaborate across teams to bring microarchitectural proposals to fruition across the SOC, Driver, OS, System through detailed documentations

Required Skills:

BSc, Masters, or PhD in Computer Science/Engineering, or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience

15+ years of experience in SOC or ASIC design and architecture

Prior direct experience (> 7 years) in GPU subsystem architecture or microarchitecture is required

High proficiency in architecture analysis and performance modeling, ranging from simple analytical models to complex cycle accurate performance model and correlation, especially around GPU IPs

Ability to leverage existing simulation capabilities [GEM5, FastSIM, Platform Architect] or create new simulation capabilities when necessary

Detailed knowledge of ARM bus infrastructure (ACE/AXI/AHB), GPU architecture and new development

Leadership across hardware, software, and platform groups to align all parties to a common vision
