Base Salary
$184k - $357k/yr
Responsibilities
- Architect, build, implement, and debug GPU power and performance management software focused on P-state management and DVFS.
- Develop real-time control policies and mechanisms that optimize GPU performance, power, thermals, and energy efficiency for data-center workloads.
- Own features across requirements, architecture, implementation, pre-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, productization, and production support.
- Define hardware-software interfaces with GPU architects and hardware designers for next-generation processors.
- Analyze interactions among workloads, clocks, voltages, power limits, thermals, telemetry, and system-level policies.
- Lead resolution of complex power, performance, stability, and reliability issues across firmware, drivers, hardware, and platform software.
- Develop validation strategies and automation for functional correctness, latency, performance-per-watt, and robustness.
- Create architecture, interface, and feature specifications and influence scalable system-software frameworks.
Requirements
- BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of industry experience developing system software, embedded firmware, device drivers, or other hardware-related production software.
- Strong C programming skills and experience developing, debugging, and maintaining complex low-level software.
- Deep understanding of operating-system fundamentals, device-driver architecture, embedded or real-time software, concurrency, interrupt handling, and hardware programming.
- Experience interpreting hardware specifications and developing interfaces for registers, telemetry, interrupts, and control mechanisms.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture and hardware-software interactions.
- Ability to independently debug complex cross-layer software and hardware problems.
- Experience owning technically challenging features or subsystems through production with cross-functional teams.
- Experience with GPU, CPU, accelerator, or SoC power and performance management is preferred.
- Experience with P-state selection, DVFS, clock and voltage control, power capping, thermal management, throttling, workload-aware policies, or real-time feedback controllers is preferred.
- Experience building validation, observability, and automation infrastructure for low-level software features is preferred.
- Understanding of voltage-frequency relationships, transient power, thermal limits, power delivery, and system-level power budgets is preferred.
Benefits
- Equity and comprehensive benefits package.
- Base salary varies by location, experience, and level; the posting lists Level 4 and Level 5 ranges.
- Applications are accepted at least until September 26, 2026.
