Silicon Validation Software Engineer - GPU IP Validation and Integration
Location: Waltham, Massachusetts, United States
Description We are seeking a Silicon Validation Software Engineer specializing in GPU IP validation and integration. The role involves writing shaders to stress the GPU and memory subsystem, applying deep GPU architecture knowledge to develop tests that exercise the GPU pipeline and its interaction with various IP blocks on the SoC. The engineer will utilize driver and firmware APIs to compile shaders and manage data movement within the SoC using GPU threads and SIMD groups. Understanding GPU memory hierarchy (Shared, Global, etc.) is essential. The role also includes debugging SoC software and hardware issues and performing system-level validation.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field
At least 3 years of industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or related fields
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Graphics, OpenGL, and CUDA
Knowledge of image processing, memory hierarchies, and compilers
Experience implementing and running ML/LLM workloads for GPU characterization
Proficiency in Python and GNU Make
Deep understanding of compute systems, operating systems, and computer architecture
Passion for hardware-close coding and debugging
Meticulous, curious, and persistent validation mindset
Experience in SoC system-level validation and debugging
Understanding of the Display pipeline is a plus
At Apple, the base pay range for this role is between $132,100 and $244,600, depending on skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Employees may also participate in stock programs, receive benefits such as medical and dental coverage, retirement plans, discounts, and educational reimbursement.
