WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING

 

We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. This is who we are at our best. One Company. One Team. 

 

AMD together we advance_

THE ROLE:

We are looking for an experienced engineer who brings a deep understanding of SoC and Platform architecture, Power Management concepts and algorithms, and a passion to drive Perf@Watt, Perf/Watt and Perf/$ optimizations for world-class GPUs.

 

THE PERSON:

You have a can-do attitude, excellent interpersonal, leadership, communication and documentation skills. You are detail oriented and have an ability to learn fast on the go, execute amidst ambiguity and competing priorities. You are able to motivate a matrixed engineering organization based on data-driven analyses and good judgment.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Drive Power Management Architecture advances and multi-generational roadmap to maximize power and cost constrained performance for Radeon graphics platforms
  • Take ownership for developing and driving PM features from concept through product launch for a family of SoC devices with varying configurations and target market segments
  • Work with product teams to understand the Perf/Power/Cost requirements, evangelize for power efficiency, and influence product concept
  • Work cross functionally with Software, Firmware, SoC, IP, Platform, Silicon Technology, and Product teams through every stage of product development, lead broad forums and drive product definition alignment
  • Develop system level models, analyze return-on-investment and evaluate trade-offs
  • Document specifications
  • Guide power management feature implementation, verification, emulation and postsilicon
    validation and tuning in an engineering resource efficient and scalable manner
  • Coach and mentor other engineers as a technical leader

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Proven experience with GPU or CPU power architecture, PPA tradeoffs, power management algorithms, embedded microcontroller firmware, hardware test and verification environments
  • Solid background in electrical circuits, VLSI and circuit design fundamentals
  • Familiarity with ASIC/SoC Design cycles and methodologies including RTL, Verification, Emulation, Physical Design and post-si validation
  • Background in prototyping and proof of concept of new complex architectures and algorithms in hardware/software/firmware using physical and/or emulation platforms will be a plus
  • Programming skills in C/C++, scripting with Perl or Python
  • Ability to work cross functionally with HW/SW and Pre/Post Silicon teams, lead by influence and strong communication skills

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

  • Undergraduate degree in related discipline
