Job Description: 

Are you passionate about computer graphics and eager to contribute to cutting-edge technologies driving Intel's industry-leading Graphics and Compute products? Join our GPU and System Software Engineering organization, where we develop Linux drivers and innovative software solutions for Intel GPUs. Platform Enabling is the leading edge of all new platform driver development of Intel graphics. Development is not limited to a specific area of functionality in the driver - a successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be able to work across all areas of the graphics driver functionality (Display, Core/MM, SRIOV, GuC/PnP, Media, etc.) to adapt existing driver functionality to HW changes in upcoming platforms. Platform Enabling is the front line of Linux Graphics SW Power On execution for all platforms both client side and server side. Platform Enabling works across all phases of a program, responsible for initial pre-silicon (simulation and emulation) bring-up of the driver, to first silicon Power On execution, to post-silicon development and bug fixing on HW. A successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be comfortable working on the internal driver to meet needs across pre-silicon and early HW enabling for Intel internal partners business units and external Intel partners, as well as being comfortable working directly with the upstream community and maintainers to upstream new platform patches and coordinate implementation of significant driver changes. Key Responsibilities: - Develop and validate software components that enable Intel GPUs, encompassing firmware, device drivers, APIs, and application layers. - Dive deep into Intel's Linux GPU software stack and open-source kernel drivers to contribute industry-leading features for Intel's Graphics and Compute products. - Design, develop, validate, document, and perform analysis for software solutions. - Engage with open-source communities to drive collaboration and ensure compatibility across diverse platforms. - Participate in cross-functional teams to ensure integration and alignment of GPU software developments with Intel's broader technical ecosystem. - Debug, optimize, and innovate to enhance reliability, security, and performance in Intel's GPU software solutions.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline. - 3+ years of experience in Linux system software development with a Bachelor's degree, 2+ years with a Master's degree, or 0 years with a Ph.D. - Systems programming experience in C. - Linux kernel development and debugging experience - Solid understanding of Linux operating system architecture and device driver models. - Proficiency in software engineering development lifecycle processes, including design, implementation, and validation. - Hands-on experience with Git version control systems. - Open Source project/community interaction and contribution experience - Ability to ramp quickly in new areas of functionality - Basic understanding of fundamental concepts of Graphics, Display, Compute, and Media Desired skills: - Direct contribution to upstream Linux kernel - Experience in Linux HW driver development - directly interacting with/driving HW - Deep git experience, including branch manipulation, patch cherry-picking, rebasing, and resolving patch conflicts - Understanding of/experience with Display HW and signaling - Understanding of/experience with device memory management - Understanding of/experience with GPU command execution - Familiarity with/contributions to the Linux DRM subsystem and drivers - Understanding of all components in a typical Open Source Graphics/Compute/Media SW stack - Experience with a scripting language such as bash or python - Experience with Linux kernel power management flows - Experience working in simulation and emulation environments - Excellent communication and cross-org coordination skills, especially during high-stress/pressure environments such as initial silicon Power On. We welcome individuals who thrive on innovation, collaboration, and meaningful impact. Join us in shaping the future of graphics and compute technologies-apply today.
