Senior Staff GPU Kernel Mode Driver Engineer - GPU ASICs Engineering

This individual leads the team to improve engineering efficiency, product quality and responsibility of architecting, designing, implementing, verifying, and optimizing performance and power of GPU cores. Responsible for support and development of the pre-silicon kernel mode driver, developing software, tools, and tests for various graphics workloads, supporting a multitude of project variants, debugging and resolving key driver features, and performing pre- and post-silicon verification to verify correctness and ensure performance and power goals are met. Works across teams to align on important areas of feature development and ensure targets are met; ensures designs are innovative and compatible with other components. Develops high-quality GPU system based on requirements that balance power with performance and meet needs, benchmarks, and industry standards, even when faced with ambiguous information. Designs, programs, and runs comprehensive graphics tests using tools and methods for components under different scenarios and benchmarks to verify functionality, performance, power, and stability and identify issues. Conducts complex analyses of test results using statistics and data predictions to track benchmarks and identify issues or areas for improvement. Performs extensive debug sessions involving various layers of GFX software with HW architecture elements. Works with and supports the hardware verification team to test and validate the HW architecture. Consults with internal or external users and third-party vendors to guide implementation and ensure alignment with their needs and goals. Builds deep understanding of one's domain and understands several other domains to anticipate how all components will integrate in the broader framework. Demonstrates good understanding of and conducts research on industry trends and innovations in graphics to ensure solutions and deliverables align with best practices. Contributes to conversations to generate new ideas for next generation graphics; provides recommendations for new directions to explore. Writes clear and detailed technical documentation and feature descriptions for complex projects to guide users and/or customers to use or implement software. Acts as a strong contributor at design reviews and project meetings and communicates and implements a development plan.
