Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and powering the future.

We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We’re dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we’re building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities.

Our team is at the forefront of applying machine learning to real-world organic material research. As part of a dynamic group of researchers, engineers, you’ll collaborate on innovative projects that transform data into insights and breakthrough discoveries of new material.

Samsung Display Lab is hiring an AI expert with background of circuit/pixel layout design, circuit simulation by fusing physics-based simulation with modern AI/ML. You’ll drive AI-assisted panel layout and architect pixel/backplane circuits, build high-fidelity surrogates for parasitics using AI.

Location: Daily onsite presence at our San Jose, CA office / U.S. headquarters in alignment with our Flexible Work policy.

What You’ll Do

AI for design & optimization

• Develop physics-informed ML and GNN surrogates mapping layout/process to electrical KPIs.


• Run multi-objective optimization via Bayesian optimization/evolutionary search; generate candidate pixel, driver topologies.


• Apply RL for process control and compensation strategy tuning.

Circuit Simulation

• Compose fast design loops that combine Layout/SPICE with learned surrogates; accelerate what-if sweeps.


• Build data/feature pipelines from fab/test and panel bring-up; implement active learning and uncertainty quantification.

What You Bring

• BS Computer Science or equivalent with a minimum of 10+ years or a MS in Computer Science with 8+ years or PhD 5+ years in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering/Applied Physics (or equivalent experience).


• Proficiency with SPICE/Spectre/HSPICE/Cadence Virtuoso/ADE; layout and parasitic extraction.


• Strong Python and ML fundamentals (PyTorch or TensorFlow, scikit-learn/NumPy/Pandas)


• Experience building and validating surrogate models and running multi-objective optimization.


• Experience with GNNs for layout-to-electrical, PINNs/physics-informed ML, or differentiable simulation.


• RL for control/param tuning; Bayesian optimization at scale; DoE/active learning.


• Publications/patents in display, EDA, or ML-for-hardware.


• Solid analog/digital circuit fundamentals; hands-on OLED pixel/gate driver design.


• Demonstrated ability to take designs from simulation to hardware bring-up and correlation.


• You’re inclusive, adapting your style to the situation and diverse global norms of our people.


• An avid learner, you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience, seeking data to help build understanding.


• You’re collaborative, building relationships, humbly offering support and openly welcoming approaches.


• Innovative and creative, you proactively explore new ideas and adapt quickly to change.
