What you'll do

  • Work with us to shape GPU architectures that improve product yield while maintaining performance and architectural simplicity.
  • Analyze how manufacturing defects affect architectural resources, then develop methods that isolate or disable affected regions while preserving useful functionality.
  • Build software tools and models that capture architectural, performance, and product requirements as rules and constraints.
  • Develop efficient optimization techniques that explore large configuration spaces and identify viable product configurations.
  • Develop approaches for multi-die architectures that improve utilization of available silicon while meeting product and performance requirements.
  • Evaluate yield, performance, area, implementation cost, complexity, and product flexibility, then work across architecture, performance, design, silicon, Operations, and software to move selected proposals into production.

What they're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience, plus 10+ years in GPU, CPU, SoC, or complex processor architecture.
  • Strong understanding of GPU architecture, the overall execution pipeline, and interactions across major GPU subsystems.
  • Strong computer architecture fundamentals and the ability to reason about disabling, isolating, or reconfiguring resources.
  • Strong C++ and/or Python skills with experience building architectural models, simulators, optimization frameworks, or engineering analysis tools.
  • Experience translating architecture and product requirements into rules, constraints, algorithms, and executable analysis, including complex optimization or configuration problems.
  • Ability to quantify performance, product yield, area, cost, and complexity tradeoffs and influence decisions across architecture, design, implementation, and product teams.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on GPU architecture or large-scale SoC architecture experience.
  • Experience with constraint-based reasoning, combinatorial optimization, mathematical optimization, or related techniques.
  • Background with silicon yield, defect tolerance, harvesting, redundancy, repair, resource isolation, or configurable processor architectures.
  • Experience with multi-die, chiplet, or other modular processor architectures and complex resource-allocation problems.
  • Experience using silicon or manufacturing data, developing performance or architecture simulators, profiling GPU workloads, or carrying concepts into production silicon.
