THE ROLE:
The right engineer will drive the success of power IP (Intellectual Property) and features in AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) products through leadership & coordination, resolution of technical dependencies, and achievement of schedule commits. This is a high-visibility and widely multi-functional role, spanning pre-silicon architecture to post-silicon implementation & product delivery.
THE PERSON:
Your curiosity will drive your learning and innovation to improve how we as a group, and an organization, can get better every day. Your peers will provide you a results-oriented and encouraging environment for your career growth, fueling your opportunity to be a part of Delighting Our Customers.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Problem solving across multiple software layers, (user space, kernel, applications, libraries) and hardware.
- Optimization/development of the CPU performance stack (applications, libraries) for AMD server processors.
- Analyze and solve performance, scalability bottlenecks when code is running on multi-core, multi-node deployments.
- Innovate and publish papers, patents and participate in technical conferences to advance AMD technologies.
- Continuously learn and grow along with evolving X86 server CPU architecture and application landscape.
- Lead collaborative approaches with multiple teams.
- Mentor others to achieve integrated projects
- Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Very strong data structure and algorithmic skills.
- Experience in identifying performance bottlenecks, and designing/implementing optimizations to relieve analyzed bottlenecks.
- Experience in software development using C/C++ and debugging skills on multicore systems.
- Experience in performance analysis for data center, HPC (High Performance Computing), MPI (Message passing Interface) applications.
- Experience in x86 (or other architecture based) optimizations.
- Understanding of Cache sub-system, Instruction Set Architecture, pipeline (for any CPU).
- Bonus skills: Experience on Intel MKL libraries, Linear Algebra, FFT, x86 assembly programming.
- Knowledge of one or more CPU Profiling tools
