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!\nRole and Responsibilities\nAs a Staff GPU Front-End Implementation Methodology Engineer, you will shape and advance the front-end implementation methodologies that underpin high-quality, scalable RTL across complex GPU and SoC designs. Working as a mid-to-senior individual contributor, you will serve as a key enabler for design and verification teams — helping them work faster, with greater confidence, and at scale.\nYou will partner closely with architecture, verification, CAD, and physical design groups to define and uphold best practices, design guidelines, and quality standards that align with high-performance and low-power goals. You will own and evolve the RTL flow and build system, including support for an agentic AI workflow, and contribute to a broader portfolio of software initiatives: the RTL CI/CD system, operational metrics collection and reporting, custom web application development, and open-source tool provisioning.\nIn this role, you will:\nEmpower design and DV teams to work efficiently by removing friction from front-end workflows and proactively addressing methodology gaps\nDrive front-end RTL implementation methodologies for GPU and SoC designs, ensuring scalability, architectural alignment, and adherence to performance and power objectives\nTake ownership of moderate-to-complex projects, leading efforts to advance best practices and staying ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies\nSkills and Qualifications\n6+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 4+ years of experience with a Master’s Degree, or 2+ years of experience with a Ph.D.\nHands-on experience designing and building agentic AI tools and workflows\nProficiency across a broad range of Unix/Linux programming languages, including Python, C++, Perl, Ruby, Go, and shell scripting\nDeep Linux system expertise, including debugging complex system-level issues\nSolid background in DevOps practices, build automation, and build systems, including GNU Make\nExperience with containerized environments and orchestration platforms, including Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills with a methodical approach to debugging\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of producing clear technical documentation, design specs, and methodology guides\nProven ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional teams and thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments\nFamiliarity with RTL design concepts and testbench environments is a plus\nOur Team\nThe GPU Project and RTL team at SARC/ACL owns the microarchitecture development of features for Samsung’s current and next-generation mobile GPU IPs. Our work spans core RTL design, front-end implementation, and the infrastructure needed to deliver scalable, production-ready designs. Through cross-functional collaboration, we translate architectural concepts into high-quality RTL that delivers market-differentiating performance and energy efficiency. Our Xclipse GPU is the industry’s first mobile GPU with hardware ray tracing technology, enabling console-level graphics on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.\nYou will join a diverse, highly collaborative organization working across concurrent-development cycles, with direct impact on consumer technologies used worldwide. Here you’ll help build what’s next, experiment with new ideas and explore different GPU development verticals, broaden technical expertise, and solve impactful challenges in a supportive environment that values collaboration, continuous learning, and growth.\nTotal Rewards\nAt Samsung – SARC/ACL, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range.
