TL;DR · GPU Driver & Memory Management Architect

The GPU Driver & Memory Management Architect joins the engineering team to explore and develop GPU and NPU-adjacent driver architectures. This role focuses on deep ownership of memory management to enable efficient shared memory utilization across CPU, GPU, and NPU components. Key responsibilities include architecting driver-level memory management such as DVMT, shared memory models, and WDDM, while defining OS-driver contracts for Windows and Linux. The architect will optimize iGPU performance for AI and graphics hybrid workloads and diagnose memory-related performance bottlenecks. Required skills include expertise in computer engineering, hardware architecture, and electrical engineering, alongside proficiency in MATLAB, FPGA, and schematic capture. The role solves technical problems regarding scalable memory allocation and hardware integration to improve utilization for demanding AI workloads across various PC platforms.

What you'll do

  • Architect driver-level memory management including DVMT, shared memory models, and WDDM.
  • Enable dynamic memory allocation across GPU, CPU, and NPU hardware.
  • Optimize iGPU performance for hybrid AI and graphics workloads.
  • Define OS-driver contracts for Windows and Linux operating systems.
  • Diagnose and resolve memory-related performance bottlenecks.
  • Partner with IHVs like Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm on driver capabilities.
  • Lead part qualification processes through product quality plans and factory witness testing.
  • Track and report electrical and hardware product performance metrics.

What we're looking for

  • A four-year or graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline is required, or commensurate work experience.
  • Typically has 10+ years of work experience in electrical design, software packages, hardware architecture, or a related field (preferred).
  • Expertise in GPU and memory management architecture, including DVMT, shared memory models, and WDDM.
  • Proficiency in computer engineering, computer science, and hardware design.
  • Experience with FPGA, MATLAB, simulations, and schematic capture.
  • Ability to architect driver-level memory management and optimize iGPU performance for AI and graphics workloads.
  • Skills in debugging, systems design, and new product development.
  • Strong communication, results orientation, learning agility, digital fluency, and customer centricity.
