Come build with us!

As a GPU Software Program Manager, you will drive program management execution for Samsung's GPU Software development programs, enabling software readiness across pre-silicon development, post-silicon performance, platform maintenance, and next-generation graphics and compute architecture. Your work will support delivery across key software domains, including architecture, performance, compiler, system software, graphics drivers, compute, advanced rendering, tools, validation, and software QA.

In this high-impact individual contributor role, you will partner closely with GPU software leaders, architecture, hardware, validation, platform engineering, global teams, and ecosystem partners to improve execution visibility, manage dependencies, develop and maintain integrated project plans, and support delivery of complex software programs. You will help strengthen operational discipline across software development cycles supporting emerging technology initiatives spanning advanced graphics APIs, ML/AI workloads, GPU profiling and debugging tools, game engine collaboration, developer tools, and GPU/NPU integration across Samsung's software ecosystem.

You drive program management execution for GPU software deliverables, including schedule planning, milestone tracking, resource planning, dependency management, risk mitigation, and delivery alignment across multiple software domains.

You coordinate and enable cross-functional execution across software architecture, performance, compiler, system software, Vulkan driver, compute, ANGLE, advanced rendering, tools, validation, and software QA teams, managing multiple concurrent programs and ensuring alignment to project plans and key milestones.

You support program health reporting and leadership communications by tracking progress, risks, blockers, mitigation plans, and delivery predictability with Jira/Confluence tracking, dashboards, documentation, and execution workflows across pre-silicon, post-silicon, and sustaining programs.

You strengthen collaboration with hardware, architecture, validation, platform engineering, global teams, and Android ecosystem partners to align software readiness with development milestones, technical priorities, and ecosystem requirements, facilitating cross-functional discussions and influencing alignment across engineering organizations.

You drive continuous improvement of program management processes, metrics, documentation, and execution frameworks, championing best practices that improve visibility, predictability, and operational efficiency across software development programs.
