ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. THE ROLE: AMD’s Cores Organization delivers industry leading CPU’s and caches that are the foundation of AMD’s server, client, and gaming business. We are looking for a Fellow-level experienced design engineer to join this innovative team as a technical expert and work in the areas of performance modeling, performance analysis, and microarchitecture development. The candidate will be a key contributor and leader for AMD’s next generation cores and caches. The candidate will join the team based in Fort Collins, CO THE PERSON: The candidate should have strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to details. We work on programs with long timelines, so self-motivation and a commitment to meeting deadlines is required. We are pushing the envelope on chip performance, so the status quo must be challenged on every program. This requires creativity and innovation, but also excellent verbal and written communication skills. We work in small teams, but we are part of a large cross-site Core’s organization, so teamwork is also vital our success. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: • Collaborate with a small, dedicated team of hardware and software engineers to optimize the performance of CPUs, caches, and interconnect. • Develop and enhance cycle-accurate core, cache, and SoC (System on a chip) performance simulators. • Develop other simulators at different abstraction levels. • Use those simulators as well as analytical methods, emulation, and post-silicon observation and experimentation to develop and evaluate microarchitecture improvements. • Develop and improve tools and methodology for performance analysis of workloads. • Guide and mentor junior engineers. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: • C++ programming and scripting language capabilities • Computer architecture background with industry experience in architecting processors, caches, and interconnect. • Familiarity with Digital RTL Design, Software Development, Verilog HDL. Experience writing and debugging RTL. • Experience collaborating effectively towards the success of a project by working closely with a diverse team across disciplines. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: • BS/MS/PhD in EE, CS, CSE (or similar), and expertise in hardware design preferred LOCATION: US Fort Collins preferred, remote may be a possibility This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. #LI-MR1 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance .
