Job description

The role at Apple involves developing architectural models for graphics processing unit design in Austin, Texas. The team focuses on validating and verifying these designs while contributing to hardware/software co-validation. Candidates will engage in debugging and triaging regression failures, as well as reviewing product architecture specifications. The position also emphasizes improving modeling infrastructure and tools to support GPU hardware and software teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field.
  • Experience with object-oriented programming languages such as C++ and Python.
  • Knowledge of GPU computing, including CUDA programming.
  • Advanced understanding of computer systems and architecture.
  • Proficiency in algorithms and data structures.
  • Experience debugging C, C++, and low-level assembly.
  • Experience in application performance analysis and tuning.
  • Knowledge of low-level hardware concepts such as caches and memory management.
  • Familiarity with software build systems and shell scripting.

Responsibilities

  • Develop architectural models for GPU design validation and verification.
  • Contribute to functional models for hardware/software co-validation.
  • Monitor and triage regression failures and debug to root cause.
  • Handle additional modeling-related feature requests from neighboring teams.
  • Review and provide feedback on product architecture specification documents.
  • Support GPU hardware and software teams in model usage during design bring-up.
  • Maintain documentation for new properties and features in functional models.
  • Improve modeling infrastructure and tools.

Benefits

  • Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
