Job Description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING:

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.

THE ROLE:

As the Power and Performance Attainment and Feature Enablement Lead you will be expected to be a Cross Functional Technical Leader for Power and Performance (PnP) workstreams on your product, guiding it from Pre Si Definition / Planning through Program End of Life. The role requires a combination of technical breadth, problem solving, and soft collaboration skills.

This is an ideal role for the ambitious engineer who is passionate about the power and performance domain, desires to make impactful product decisions, and can thrive in a high-visibility role. Each week will bring new challenges and your ability to solve problems, be the voice for the customer, and to inspire others to solve problems will make a meaningful difference for the whole organization, final product AMD produces, as well as to the industry itself. Success requires driving complex cross functional technical decisions / tradeoffs while maintaining an even keel. You will need to learn as you go and mentor (and be mentored) along the way as well. When you read product reviews you will be able to see your fingerprints all over that products successes and where you have opportunities to improve the next product.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead teams to performance/watt attainment for Client products developing strategies for test, feature enablement, debug, analysis, & defect resolution throughout the course of a program.
• Work closely with the System and SoC Architects to set power and performance attainment objectives, define the features that get us to those goals.
• Develop methodologies to enable, integrate and optimize HW and SW power management features to maximize performance and user-experience across Client use cases.
• Provide relevant inputs to drive PnP teams in creation of strategies & test plans for product-specific performance/watt, features, and target market spaces as appropriate; identify risks & build mitigation plans.
• Drive the definition, enablement and integration of performance & power management features such as C-state and P-state algorithms, IP Dynamic Power management, FW active power management algorithms, and thermal management.
• Lead cross-functional technical teams in the triage, debug and resolution of Power Management Feature and PnP issues.
• Engage and collaborate with cross-functional teams and leadership to integrate deliverables with project work streams.
• Ensure seamless enablement of PMM features from design through silicon validation, firmware integration, and system-level deployment.
• Feedback improvement areas to the various teams, including the power management architecture, IP, SoC, O/S, FW, and silicon enablement team

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Brings depth and expertise in product performance-per-watt attainment tradeoffs.
• Expert at tackling multi-variable problems via system level modeling, testing and characterization, trend analysis/projection, and model verification.
• Understands system-level thermal, power, frequency, and/or voltage limited workload behavior, and the impact of hardware design trade-offs on the limiters.
• Familiarity with CPU core design and architecture at micro-architecture, L2/L3 cache design hierarchy, and core complex CCX-level.
• Understands CPU, GPU, Memory and NPU power/performance, SW power management, and system-level trade-offs.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills, with experience in root cause analysis for power/performance issues.
• Experience in the PC architecture space and familiarity with hands-on system setup & testing and the care abouts for power and power and performance data collection hygiene.
• Direct technical experience on APU/CPU system performance analysis and micro-architectural power management would be a plus.
• Proven ability to deliver large cross-functional technical deliverables.
• Experience working in a fast-paced matrixed technical organization and multi-site environment.
• Experience in SoC design, validation, or power optimization, with a focus on post-silicon power management
• Prior, recent years of industry experience including at least 3-5 years focused on system engineering and power/performance.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor’s or Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or relevant discipline.

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
