Come build with us!

Role and Responsibilities

As a Staff GPU Design Verification Engineer - Subsystems, you will contribute to the verification of one or more GPU subsystems for Samsung's next-generation mobile GPU.

In this mid-to-senior individual contributor role, you will contribute to the verification strategy and hands-on validation of complex subsystem designs, ensuring functional correctness, performance integrity, and architectural intent. You bring curiosity and knowledge in GPU design verification, block- and subsystem-level architectural understanding, and a collaborative mindset to support concurrent development cycles.

• You contribute to the verification strategy and execution for one or more GPU subsystems by help developing comprehensive verification plans, defining verification goals, coverage metrics, and sign-off criteria aligned with architectural specifications and integration requirements.

• You enjoy learning about architecting and implementing advanced verification environments. You design, develop, and maintain scalable verification testbenches using SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++, developing test code in parallel with RTL and applying constrained-random testing, coverage-driven verification, and assertion-based techniques to validate complex block and subsystem behaviors.

• You ensure functional and performance excellence across subsystem coverage by help advancing verification methodologies, tools, and automation to improve efficiency and quality, while creating targeted and scalable test scenarios that stress interactions across multiple blocks, interfaces, and data paths within the subsystem.

• You assist with complex debug and issue resolution by analyzing failures spanning blocks within a subsystem, identifying root causes, and collaborating with design and architecture teams to ensure verification aligns with architectural intent and system-level integration expectations.

• You take initiatives on moderate-to-complex projects and help advance best practices, methodologies by staying ahead of industry trends emerging verification technologies and methodologies.

Skills and Qualifications

• 6+ 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.

• Hands-on experience in GPU, CPU, or advanced semiconductor design verification.

• Working knowledge of computer architecture and GPU subsystem design, including block-level and subsystem-level integration

• Good programming skills in C/C++, Python, Perl, or equivalent.

• Familiarity with SystemVerilog and UVM, including constrained-random testing, functional coverage, and assertions.

• Knowledge or experience with contributing to verification strategy and execution for multiple subsystem blocks and verification closure across interfaces.

• Hands-on experience in debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills, with proven ability to identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, and execute implementation.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, global team environment.

• Nice to have:

• Knowledge of memory subsystem or coherent interconnects is a plus.

• Experience with performance-aware verification or performance profiling.

• Hardware modeling or emulation experience.

• Demonstrated passion for learning modern graphics architectures and evolving GPU technologies.

Our Team

The GPU Design Verification team at SARC/ACL owns verification coverage for Samsung's current and next-generation mobile GPUs. Our work spans across three areas: Graphic Core, Subsystem Verification, and Formal Verification. As a globally distributed team, we work closely with architecture, design, software, emulation, and system-level partners to ensure GPU designs function effectively as a complete system. Our Xclipse GPU is the first mobile GPU with ray tracing technology that enables console-level graphics for Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

You will join a diverse, collaborative organization to work on concurrent annual development lifecycles and see your work delivered in real consumer technologies. Here you'll help build what's next, broaden your expertise, and solve impactful challenges in a supportive environment that values collaboration, continuous learning, and growth.
