Here, you’ll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and powering the future.

We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We’re dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we’re building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities.

The AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) Computing Lab is dedicated to solving the complex system-level challenges posed by the growing demands of future AI/ML workloads. Our team is committed to designing and developing scalable platforms that can effectively handle the computational and memory requirements of these workloads while minimizing energy consumption and maximizing performance. To achieve this goal, we collaborate closely with both hardware and software engineers to identify and address the unique challenges posed by AI/ML workloads and to explore new computing abstractions that can provide a better balance between the hardware and software components of our systems. Additionally, we continuously conduct research and development in emerging technologies and trends across memory, computing, interconnect, and AI/ML, ensuring that our platforms are always equipped to handle the most demanding workloads of the future. By working together as a dedicated and passionate team, we aim to revolutionize the way AI/ML applications are deployed and executed, ultimately contributing to the advancement of AGI in an affordable and sustainable manner. Join us in our passion to shape the future of computing!

Location: Daily onsite presence at our San Jose, CA office / U.S. headquarters in alignment with our Flexible Work policy.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain highly interactive, large-scale and complex web-based visual analytics tools on AI/ML workloads.
• Build interactive data visualization (flame graphs, call trees, timeline charts) capable of fluidly rendering massive, multi-dimensional infrastructure telemetry datasets.
• Partner closely with compiler engineers and hardware architects to translate highly complex performance profiling metrics into clear, intuitive developer workflows.
• Analyze and optimize the developer experience for machine learning performance profiling, designing intuitive tooling and workflows to help engineers diagnose and eliminate inference bottlenecks.
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders, including users, partners, and management, to ensure that the systems are delivered on time and within budget.
• Complete other responsibilities as assigned.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's with 10+ years, or Master's with 8+ years, or PhD's with 5+ years of industry experience.
• Abundant experience designing and implementing rich, interactive data visualizations and user interfaces using modern web technologies.
• Strong background or interest in creating developer tools, IDE extensions, or complex diagnostic dashboards.
• Proven ability to translate massive, unstructured, or multidimensional telemetry/profiling data into intuitive, human-readable visual representations.
• Strong track record of designing workflows specifically for technical users (software engineers, data scientists, or researchers), focusing on minimizing cognitive load and streamlining root-cause diagnosis.
• Hands-on experience with, or a strong curiosity about, systems profiling and tracing tools (e.g., Perfetto, Chrome Tracing, NVIDIA Nsight Systems/Compute, PyTorch Profiler, TensorBoard, eBPF).
• Baseline understanding of computing architectures (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, interconnects/networking) and typical performance bottlenecks (memory bandwidth, compute utilization, synchronization stalls).
• Bonus: Working knowledge of modern machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow) and execution paradigms (LLM inference, pipeline/tensor parallelism, kernel dispatch).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think critically and creatively.
• You’re inclusive, adapting your style to the situation and diverse global norms of our people.
• An avid learner, you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience, seeking data to help build understanding.

We extend comprehensive accommodations throughout our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long‑term conditions, neurodivergent individuals, or those requiring pregnancy‑related support. All candidates scheduled for an interview will receive guidance on requesting accommodations.

Our Commitment to Innovation and Fairness

At Samsung Semiconductor, we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in the recruitment process to enhance efficiency. However, AI is used as a support tool, not a final decision-maker.

At Samsung Semiconductor, we support innovation and technology. However, to ensure a fair and authentic assessment, we ask that candidates rely on their own knowledge and skills throughout the process. AI tools may be used for basic preparation, grammar, and research, but should not be used to generate or assist with submitted content or live interview responses. If we determine that AI is being used outside these guidelines, we reserve the right to pause or end the interview, and your candidacy may be disqualified.

By submitting an application, you agree not to disclose to Samsung—or encourage Samsung to use—any confidential or proprietary information (including trade secrets) belonging to a current or former employer or other entity.
