TL;DR · Senior Engineer, GPU RTL Design

Senior Engineer, GPU RTL Design will join the GPU Project and RTL teams to develop complex RTL blocks and subsystems for next-generation mobile GPU IPs. This individual contributor role involves translating architectural specifications into scalable hardware designs across functional domains including control, datapath, cache, and memory systems. The engineer will manage the full RTL lifecycle, from microarchitecture definition through integration, debug, and simulation readiness while collaborating with architecture, power, physical design, and verification teams to optimize performance, power, and area tradeoffs. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog for front-end ASIC design flows, including linting, synthesis, and timing analysis. The role focuses on the development of high-performance mobile GPU technologies, specifically addressing challenges in hardware ray tracing and delivering energy-efficient graphics for premium smartphones and other consumer electronics.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop complex RTL blocks and subsystems for next-generation mobile GPU IPs.
  • Translate architectural specifications into efficient, maintainable, and scalable hardware designs.
  • Contribute to the microarchitecture definition of GPU functional domains including control, datapath, cache, and memory systems.
  • Develop clean, synthesizable RTL while ensuring high quality, accuracy, and production readiness.
  • Resolve cross-block challenges regarding interface definition, timing, power, performance, and area tradeoffs.
  • Collaborate with verification teams to resolve functional issues and ensure thorough validation coverage.
  • Drive design improvements by exploring emerging GPU technologies and advanced RTL design methodologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 4+ years of experience for Engineer roles.
  • Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 2+ years of experience for Engineer roles.
  • Master’s degree required for Senior (4+ years) and Staff (8+ years) positions.
  • Experience in semiconductor RTL design for complex SoC, CPU, or GPU architectures.
  • Hands-on experience in RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog including microarchitecture development, integration, and debug.
  • Working knowledge of GPU or high-performance digital design concepts like control logic, datapath, memory systems, and cache design.
  • Experience with front-end ASIC design flows including linting, synthesis, timing analysis, and design quality checks.
  • Applicants must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
