Job Title: GPU RTL Power Architect

Samsung is seeking a highly skilled GPU RTL Power Architect to join our team at the Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL). As a key member of our GPU RTL team, you will be responsible for optimizing power efficiency for our GPU blocks and subsystems that get integrated into premium smartphone and other adjacent market segments.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Take ownership of optimizing power efficiency for GPU blocks and subsystems.
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to implement power-efficient design practices from the ground up.
  • Conduct RTL power analysis using industry-standard tools to identify power-hungry areas, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.
  • Perform detailed analysis of underlying RTL while executing relevant benchmarks or gaming workloads, estimating power impact of architecture/micro-arch/RTL features.
  • Enhance the microarchitecture/RTL to optimize power, improve energy efficiency, and maximize perf-per-watt.
  • Define power-efficient microarchitectural choices and PPA optimizations.
  • Identify and implement power-saving techniques such as clock gating, voltage scaling, and low-power modes, to minimize power consumption in GPU blocks and subsystems.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including performance architects, modeling, design implementation, and validation teams, to understand design specifications and power requirements to ensure power-efficient designs align with performance goals.
  • Maintain thorough documentation of power optimization strategies, results, and best practices, and communicate findings to relevant teams and stakeholders.
Requirements:
  • 10+ years of experience with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 8+ years of experience with a Master's Degree, or 6+ years of experience with a PhD.
  • Expertise in System-Verilog is required, as is a deep understanding of logic design and ASIC design flow including RTL design, verification, logic synthesis, timing analysis and power optimization.
  • Proficiency in power analysis using industry-standard methodologies and power tools such as PowerArtist, PTPX, Empower, or equivalent.
  • In-depth knowledge of GPU/CPU architecture, microarchitecture, and various digital sub-blocks.
  • Experience with a scripting languages like Perl or Python.
  • Understanding of overhead and benefit tradeoff for clock gating and power gating techniques.
  • Familiarity with dynamic and leakage power tradeoff.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to work in a dynamic, global team.
  • Experience in RTL design of various digital sub-blocks of GPU/CPU/high performance digital designs.
  • Knowledge of low-power design techniques and methodologies.
  • Familiarity with physical design flows, STA flows, and tools.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive base pay range between $144,345 and $223,735.
  • Access to benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), free onsite lunch, employee purchase program, tuition assistance (after 6 months), paid time off, student loan program, wellness incentives, and many more.
  • Regular full-time employees (salaried or hourly) are eligible for MBO bonus compensation, based on company, division, and individual performance.
  • Eligibility to participate in long term incentive plan and relocation.
U.S. Export Control:

This position requires the ability to access information subject to U.S. export control restrictions. Applicants must have the ability to access export-controlled information or be eligible to receive a government authorization to access export-controlled information.
