Description

Join the team to play a pivotal role in Performance and Power projections of the GPU. As Apple expands on its GPU feature set, we rely on making accurate Efficiency curves for Performance per watt. You will have the opportunity to influence GPU Architecture choices and the feature set for the product. You will work with many teams including Architecture, Power, Performance, Silicon Validation, Thermals and Technology. In the highly collaborative GPU team, your main responsibilities are:

- Responsible to generate and analyze GPU Efficiency Projections - Performance per watt, for each generation of GPU over the full cycle of the project, from concept to Silicon.

- Work on the methodology of generating these curves to improve accuracy and quality.

- Work with Technology, Power and Static timing teams to determine the Frequency-Voltage curves for the workloads.

- Work with Performance and Power teams to gather data for the Efficiency curves and analyze the impact.

- Work with the Silicon team to improve projections based on Silicon data.

- Work with the System and Chip level Power team as a resource for GPU to handle requests.

Education & Experience

We are looking for candidates with a minimum of BS + 0 years of experience.
