# GPU Architect - Platform Architecture

- **Company:** Apple Inc.
- **Location:** London, UK
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Computing Platforms, C++ (Programming Language), Microarchitecture, Software Engineering, Product Software Implementation Methods, Systems Architecture, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), Ray Tracing
- **Published:** August 21, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.totaljobs.com/job/architect/apple-job107878454

## About the Role

* A strong background in GPU, CPU, DSP or ISP architecture
 * Knowledge of micro architectural specification and implementation
 * Ability to combine micro-architecture knowledge and performance bottleneck analysis on relevant workloads to conceive novel ideas
 * Ability to clearly communicate complex issues, self-motivated and well-organised, * Familiarity with performance simulation environments and ability to take ideas from concept to C/C++ simulator implementation

## Description

As a GPU Architect, you will collaborate with a team responsible for various aspects of the GPU hardware, including hardware-accelerated ray tracing and programmable shader cores. Your role will involve identifying areas for enhancing the performance and power characteristics of Apple GPUs. You will contribute to the development of prototype software implementations for simulated future hardware, gathering data and measurements to validate or invalidate these concepts. This collaborative effort will involve system architecture, software engineering, and design teams to assess the feasibility of these ideas. You will present these ideas to wider teams and create and evolve high-level specifications for designers, micro-architects and SW teams.
