Description

Description

As part of the Platform Architecture GPU Modeling team, you will be working with architecture, design and software partners on the definition and tuning of Apple's future GPU architectures. The role involves the creation and maintenance of C++ code modeling the software stack for next gen GPUs. You will be responsible for implementing new and existing Metal APIs to interact with a functional and performance model of the GPU. Implementing a custom driver stack to allow the model to interact with modern workloads using ray tracing, mesh shading, and more, is critical to evaluation of new GPU features. Additionally, you will be working in the model itself, implementing the functional and performance aspects of the various graphics and compute APIs. You will collaborate with experienced architects, modeling engineers, compiler engineers, and software teams to assess the feasibility of new hardware and software features, running performance experiments and analyzing results.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree
• Software skills and proficiency developing in C++
• GPU driver implementation related experience
• Graphics API familiarity with one or more of: Metal, DirectX, Vulkan, OpenGL

Preferred Qualifications

• MS or PhD degree
• 3+ years of relevant experience
• Knowledge of drivers and implementation details of graphics and compute APIs
• Familiarity with GPU performance models and ISS simulators
• Experience working with cutting edge graphics applications/games/benchmarks
• Familiarity with compilers, operating systems and GPU/CPU architecture
• Troubleshooting skills and attention to detail
• Creative problem-solving skills
