Graphics (GPU) Architectural Modeling Engineer

Do you love crafting elegant solutions to highly sophisticated challenges? As part of our Silicon Technologies group, you’ll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC)! You’ll ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you’ll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels Apple’s devices. Together, you and your team will enable our customers to do all the things they love with their devices. We are looking for engineers who are passionate about Architectural Models. You will be responsible for the pre-silicon functional and performance modeling of our industry leading low power GPUs. This includes developing detailed models of the architectural and micro-architectural aspects of various blocks and IPs in the GPU and how they operate within the broader GPU design.

Description

In this role you will:

-Drive the development, validation, and verification of advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) designs and architectures.
-Drive and develop bit-accurate architectural models for hardware/software (HW/SW) co-validation.
-Drive and develop timing-accurate architectural and micro-architectural models for performance validation and correlation.
-Drive the triage of regression failures and debug failures to root cause.
-Drive coding and modeling best-practices and improve modeling infrastructure.
-Drive multi-functional teams to best practice HW and SW solutions.
-Roll up and present results and recommendations while working closely and collaboratively across functional teams and organizations.
