• Develop and maintain run time library code in C++ that provides profiling and debugging services
• Develop code and processes that configure and control hardware resources such as internal NPU performance counters
• Develop new solutions to provide higher level abstractions of current debug and profiling services, as well as new solutions for new architectures and applications such as ML
• Coordinate with other teams in AMD to support Vitis profiling and debug features in all flows and devices, including emulation flows and edge hardware

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Expert knowledge and hands-on experience in C, C++ 
• Solid understanding of object-oriented-design principles 
• Solid understanding of Software Engineering principles, Data structure, algorithms, Operating Systems concepts and multithread programming 
• Excellent design and code development skills, familiarity with Linux and modern software tools and techniques for development 
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills 
• Familiarity with ML debugging techniques and methods
• Familiarity with profiling tools and methodologies
• Familiarity with ACAP and FPGA devices and their tool chains
