Role and Responsibilities

We are seeking a highly skilled Graphics Core Performance Verification (GCPV) Engineer to join our team at Samsung SARC/ACL. As a GCPV Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the performance of our GPU designs meet the required specifications and standards. You will be responsible for pre-silicon performance verification, developing tests to characterize GPU performance, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to analyze, correlate, and compare performance across different platforms. The ideal candidate will have a passion for graphics processing and a strong background in performance verification.

• You architect, develop and execute comprehensive performance verification strategies to ensure that GPU designs meet performance targets and requirements
• You design and implement necessary tool/test environments, test content, and verification flows to verify design performance, including developing and maintaining performance benchmarks and tests
• You work closely with the Architecture and Modeling teams to define design targets, ensure alignment with performance requirements, and provide feedback on design trade-offs
• You analyze and correlate performance data across silicon, emulation, and architectural models
• You identify and prioritize performance optimization opportunities
• You participate in the debug of failures in silicon and develop new testing strategies to detect these failures on pre-silicon models, working closely with Architecture and RTL teams to identify and resolve performance issues
• You communicate effectively with Architecture, RTL, and other cross-functional teams to ensure seamless collaboration, coordinate performance verification activities, and provide regular progress updates

Skills and Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/relevant technical field, or 8+ years of experience with a Master’s degree, or 6+ years of experience with a PhD
• Proven experience in pre-silicon performance verification, architecting and driving PV strategy and execution
• Strong understanding of GPU architecture and design, graphics processing, and performance optimization techniques
• Experience with performance verification methodologies, tools, and languages
• Familiarity with performance analysis and optimization tools (e.g., GPU profiling tools, performance modeling frameworks)
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with ability to debug complex performance issues
