Position Summary

Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy - the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us!

Role and Responsibilities

• You contribute to the integration of complex GPU blocks and subsystems, supporting RTL partitioning decisions and integration strategies that ensure functional correctness, architectural alignment, scalability, and clean physical design across IP generations.
• You enjoy learning about the integration lifecycle, driving front-end RTL quality and readiness by executing design quality checks—including lint, CDC, and logical equivalence) - and delivering production-quality RTL to SoC and physical design teams.
• You support technical excellence by supporting RTL databases and managing memory macros, hard macros, and standard cell libraries, ensuring consistency, traceability, and integration robustness across projects.
• You help advance critical visibility into design health by contributing to block-level synthesis, monitoring area and timing metrics, and proactively identifying integration risks related to performance, power, and implementation feasibility.
• You take initiatives on moderate-to-complex projects and help advance best practices, methodologies by staying ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies.

Skills and Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/relevant technical field, or a Master's degree.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in GPU, CPU, or SoC RTL integration.
• Working understanding of front-end ASIC design flows, from RTL integration through synthesis and physical design handoff.
• Proficient in RTL coding and integration using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Working understanding of synthesis tools, timing analysis, floorplanning and PNR flow.
• Good proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby, or TCL.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for documenting designs, methodologies, and best practices.
• Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, global team environment.

Nice to have:

• Understanding of ECOs and late-stage design changes.

Our Team

The GPU Project and RTL team at SARC/ACL owns the microarchitecture development of features for Samsung’s current and next-generation mobile GPU IPs.
