Are you ready to be at the forefront of architecting the next generation of Apple GPUs? This role will require you to analyze the performance of existing and future looking workloads and propose, alongside with world-class GPU and SoC Architects, new features and research on novel ideas to boost to new heights the performance of our GPUs. To do so, you’ll use performance and energy models to evaluate, iterate and tune the different ideas until the proposal is mature enough to be presented to senior GPU Architects to decide on its feasibility. You’ll also cross-collaborate as a larger architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment and look for ways to boost the productivity of the entire team.
