TL;DR · Senior Engineer, GPU RTL Design

As an Engineer or Senior/Staff GPU RTL Design Engineer at Samsung’s Advanced Research Center (SARC) and Architecture & Computing Lab (ACL), you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing complex RTL blocks for next-generation mobile GPUs, contributing to high-quality, scalable hardware designs that power premium smartphones. Your responsibilities include collaborating with architecture, power, physical design, and emulation teams to define microarchitecture and implement efficient RTL code, ensuring robustness and sustainability across multiple IP generations. You will drive design quality through clean, synthesizable RTL development and thorough validation, addressing functional challenges by working closely with system-level teams to optimize performance, power, and area tradeoffs. The ideal candidate has a strong background in semiconductor RTL design for complex SoCs or GPUs, hands-on experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog, and expertise in front-end ASIC design flows, including linting and synthesis. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge GPU technologies like hardware ray tracing, contributing to consumer technologies used worldwide in a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and growth.

What you'll do

  • Contribute to the microarchitecture definition and RTL implementation of complex GPU blocks.
  • Drive design from microarchitecture through RTL development, integration, debug, and simulation readiness.
  • Resolve functional design challenges by addressing interface definitions and timing issues early in the cycle.
  • Develop clean, synthesizable RTL code and collaborate with verification teams for thorough validation.
  • Explore emerging GPU technologies and advance best practices in RTL design methodologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering with relevant experience (Engineer: 4+ years, Senior/Staff: 8+ years)
  • Hands-on RTL design experience using Verilog/SystemVerilog for complex SoC, CPU, or GPU architectures
  • Proficiency in microarchitecture development, integration, and debug of GPU or high-performance digital designs
  • Strong understanding of performance, power, area (PPA) tradeoffs in semiconductor design
  • Experience with front-end ASIC design flows including linting, synthesis, timing analysis, and quality checks
  • Excellent analytical skills for identifying and proposing data-driven solutions to complex problems
