Apple is looking to design and manufacture next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processors and SoCs. The role involves developing graphics validation software to ensure Apple products and services can seamlessly and efficiently handle tasks, enabling customers to do all the things they love with their devices.
Requirements
- Experienced with Graphics, OpenGL, and CUDA
- Understanding of the GPU pipeline and graphics theory
- Understanding of system and SoC architectures
- Experienced with image processing, memory hierarchies, and compilers
- Strong C/C++ programming skills
- Proficient in Python and GNU Make
- Deep understanding of compute systems, operating systems, and computer architecture
Responsibilities
- writing shaders that stress the GPU and cause high bandwidth traffic to and from the memory subsystem
- apply your deep understanding of GPU architecture to write tests that stress the pipeline and exercise the interaction between the GPU and different IP blocks on the SoC
- use the necessary driver and firmware APIs to compile shaders and prime operations to move data around in the SoC using the GPU threads/SIMD groups
- understand the different levels of GPU memory hierarchy (Shared, Global, etc.)
- debug SoC software and hardware issues
- perform system level validation
- Implement and run ML/LLM workloads for GPU characterization.
Other
- A minimum of a bachelor's degree in relevant field and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or related field
- Passionate about writing code close to the hardware, and debugging
- You enjoy the validation mentality: meticulous, curious, and persistent
- Apple is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity.
- We seek to promote equal opportunity for all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, Veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
