You will also drive systematic improvements in debug methods, tools and features based on your findings and expertise.

Description

In this role you will:

• Lead and coordinate a collection of prototype development hardware for the use of GPU stress testing.

• Triage GPU-related issues from prototype SOC silicon to Graphics subsystems.

• Use scan dump and other silicon debug tools/methodologies to understand silicon state and drive future testing to refine debug theories.

• Implement GPU stress testing plans on prototype SOCs running the latest development SW stack.

• Help create new debug tools, flows, and approaches to speed and automate silicon debug.

• Create and maintain documentation for silicon-impacting GPU issues.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS required.
