Do you love working on challenges that no one has solved yet? Are you ready to join a team redefining hardware technology? The Graphics Triage Engineer is the first point of contact for GPU related issues impacting Apple SOC silicon. As a member of the Apple GPU Silicon Triage Team, you will use your knowledge of SOC/GPU design, debug features and related tools, validation, and problem-solving in order to drive failures to resolution. You will be debugging failures that come from GPU silicon validation, driver development, and internal stress testing that appear to be design issues or that require silicon expertise in order to root cause. You will work at the cross-section of hardware and software and partner with engineers to quickly root cause failures. You will also drive systematic improvements in debug methods, tools and features based on your findings and expertise.
Description
In this role you will:
- Lead and coordinate a collection of prototype development hardware for the use of GPU stress testing.
- Triage GPU-related issues from prototype SOC silicon to Graphics subsystems.
- Use scan dump and other silicon debug tools/methodologies to understand silicon state and drive future testing to refine debug theories.
- Implement GPU stress testing plans on prototype SOCs running the latest development SW stack.
- Help create new debug tools, flows, and approaches to speed and automate silicon debug.
- Create and maintain documentation for silicon-impacting GPU issues.
Minimum Qualifications
BS required.
Coursework in system architecture and GPU or CPU architectures.
Experience in C or C++ and Python.
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with pre-silicon design verification methodologies.
Strong academic understanding of hardware functions at the micro architectural level.
Ability to understand HW designs written in the Verilog Hardware Design Language.
Ability to debug RTL from waveforms.
CPU design (ARM preferred) design and programming knowledge a plus.
GPU design and programming (Metal preferred) knowledge a plus.
Experience with web application development (React, TypeScript, JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML5, CSS, etc.) a plus.
SQL, no-SQL database design and management experience a plus.
