Full Job Description
**Position Summary** Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy – the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us! **Role and Responsibilities** As a Principal GPU Design Verification Engineer – Subsystems, you will lead the verification of one or more GPU subsystems for Samsung’s next-generation mobile GPU. In this high-impact and highly visible technical leadership role, you will define verification strategy and contribute hands-on to validating complex subsystem designs, ensuring functional correctness, performance integrity, and architectural intent. You bring deep expertise in GPU design verification, strong block- and subsystem-level architectural understanding, and a collaborative leadership style that aligns architecture, design, and software teams while supporting concurrent development cycles. * You are a domain expert in multiple areas of subsystem-level verification. You lead verification strategy and execution for one or more GPU subsystems by developing comprehensive verification plans, defining verification goals, coverage metrics, and sign-off criteria aligned with architectural specifications and integration requirements. * You excel at architecting and implementing advanced verification environments. You design, develop, and maintain scalable verification testbenches using SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++, developing test code in parallel with RTL and applying constrained-random testing, coverage-driven verification, and assertion-based techniques to validate complex block and subsystem behaviors. * You elevate functional and performance excellence
