Samsung is Hiring! 32 positions in California and Texas at the intersection of computer graphics and digital chip design

The team at Samsung that designs the Xclipse GPU in Galaxy phones with Exynos SoC – is doing expansion. There are 32 jobs available in two locations:

Samsung Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) in San Jose, California
Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) in Austin,Texas

Look at the selection:

Design flow and Methodology, GPU Architecture, Microarchitecture, RTL Design, Design Verification, SoC Architect / Memory Subsystem, Physical Design / Floorplan, Power Management, Post-Silicon Debug & Validation, SoC Performance Architect, Memory Controller Micro-Architect, Research Architect, SoC Architect / Coherent Interconnect, Physical Design Feasibility, GPU Software Architecture, Compilers, Static Timing Analysis CAD Engineer, Physical Implementation CAD Lead, GPU Performance Architect and others.

You can apply directly at the website – or, if you want, I can make you an internal referral since I (Yuri Panchul) am a member of the GPU team. However:

1. I can give a referral for RTL design positions only.
2. Unfortunately, I can do it only for the US Citizens and Green Card Holders (H-1 visas are difficult these days).
3. In order for me to make sure I recommend high-quality candidates to hiring managers, I need you to solve a problem: read my SNUG article and implement Challenge Number 3 with division and flow control. You can contact me on LinkedIn.
4. After you solve the problem, I need to review the solution with you and ask you to solve two or three smaller puzzles in front of me. If you live in Silicon Valley, I can do it on Sunday during the Verilog Meetup from 11 am to 2 pm at Hacker Dojo, 855 Maude Ave, Mountain View, California. If you live somewhere else in the States, we can do it over Zoom.
5. If I like your solutions, I will enter your data into the Samsung SARC/ACL internal referral website. After that, you will get an email from the website and can start an application to go through the official Samsung interview process. I will also forward your resume to the hiring managers and the team’s recruiters.
6. Note that solving a couple of puzzles for me is not a part of the official Samsung interview process. This is just my personal way to ensure I forward only the relevant resumes to the company.

This is the poster I presented at the SNUG Silicon Valley conference with the interview questions I was using in 2025:

 

We have an office gym and a patio on the fifth floor, two minutes away from your desk:
