Graphics Emulation Engineer

Do your lifes best work here - with the whole world watching. At Apple new ideas and complex challenges have a remarkable ability to transform into phenomenal products services and customer experiences in a relatively short Apples GPU team and contribute to the creation of graphics processing technology that powers millions of devices worldwide. As part of our growing team youll work on pre-silicon validation of cutting-edge GPU microarchitectures spanning from mobile devices to high-performance computers. Your role will involve exploring the intricate architectural details that drive exceptional graphics performance. Together well empower our customers to enjoy all the features they love on their devices!

As a Graphics Emulation Engineer in Apples GPU Design Verification and Validation organization youll ensure our complex GPU designs meet Apples quality standards through comprehensive hardware platform testing. Youll validate designs that enable seamless execution of demanding graphics workloads. Youll be responsible for supporting functional verification power and performance analysis implementation and silicon validation by building emulation models running both synthetic and real-world test cases on those emulation models debugging and resolving issues reporting status and driving emulation and acceleration solutions from concept to silicon.
