Role and Responsibilities

As a GPU Design Technology Infrastructure Engineer, you will contribute to the development of scalable infrastructure and automation solutions that enable Samsung’s next-generation GPU and system-level IP development.

In this individual contributor role, you will support infrastructure, orchestration, and data-driven engineering solutions that enable design and CAD teams to execute complex workflows more efficiently. You will collaborate closely with software, CAD, IT, and advanced design technology teams to improve compute utilization, workflow automation, and AI/ML-driven engineering capabilities that enhance engineering productivity across the design development pipeline.

• Contribute to development of scalable infrastructure and workflow orchestration solutions that improve engineering productivity and enable efficient execution of design and CAD workflows across multi-site development environments.

• Support automation and data analysis initiatives that improve compute, storage, and licensing utilization while enabling broader access to engineering data and workflow insights across design technology teams.

• Help develop modern, vendor-agnostic debug, analysis, and execution capabilities that improve visibility into design processes and support future AI/ML and Generative AI-driven engineering solutions.

• Collaborate with CAD, IT, and advanced design technology teams to support methodology improvements across ASIC design flows, including RTL, verification, synthesis, physical design, timing, and power analysis workflows

• Contribute to AI/ML-driven engineering initiatives and support legacy infrastructure solutions to improve workflow automation, scalability, and optimization efficiency across GPU and system-level IP development.

Skills and Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or relevant field, or completion of a Master’s Degree or Ph.D.

• Experience in software development, physical design, system architecture, or related engineering domain with a focus on scalability, automation, and process improvement

• Good programming skills in Python, C++, Java, or similar programming language

• Familiarity with software development methodologies such as Agile or DevOps and experience with modern development tools and workflows

• Working knowledge of low-power tools and methodologies, including RTL and gate-level power analysis, optimization, and signoff flows (e.g., PrimePower, PowerArtist, Empower, Joules, RTL-Architect, or equivalent)

• Understanding of end-to-end ASIC design flows, including RTL, verification, synthesis, physical design, timing, power, and DTCO concepts

• Familiarity with industry-standard CAD tools for simulation, synthesis, linting, and verification (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics)

• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills using data-driven approach.

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

Our Team

The Advanced Design Technology and Design Implementation teams play a critical role in enabling GPU and system-level development within Samsung SARC/ACL and the broader System LSI organization. Operating at the intersection of design technology and physical implementation, we partner closely with Foundry from early technology exploration through the full development cycle. Spanning advanced design methodologies, GPU physical design, CAD, and DTCO, we accelerate adoption of leading technology nodes and deliver optimized power, performance, area (PPA), silicon quality, and turnaround time for next-generation IP solutions.

You will join a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment working across parallel development cycles with direct impact on consumer technologies used worldwide. Here, you’ll help build what’s next: experimenting with new ideas, broadening your technical expertise, and solving impactful challenges alongside talented teammates who value ownership, continuous learning, and growth.
