Lead Graphics Hardware Power Architect

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. AMD together we advance_ SMTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER We are looking for an adaptive, self-motivated engineer to join our growing GFX architecture team. As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive AMD's market leading PPA designs across AI/Machine Learning, Compute, and Discrete GPU gaming products. You will be involved with power modeling, analyzing workloads to optimize power, and researching features for next generation designs. The role requires a special combination of technical breadth, problem solving, and soft skills. The Power Architect is a cross-functional technical leader. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Research new architectural features for next generation GFX IP that optimizes Performance-Power-Area (PPA) and transcends product goals Develop models in either C++ and/or System Verilog to validate PPA of new architectural features Write and deliver architectural specifications to development teams (HW, SW, Firmware, etc). Architect new GPU algorithms to improve PPA for rendering and compute workloads Analyze game traces from legacy designs to optimize PPA in future architectures Provide technical support for Silicon bring-up teams Provide micro-architecture level proposals and/or review proposals from other sources for PPA optimization Guide HW Design teams in evaluating and improving power efficiency of their implementations Work with teams throughout the company (Product and System Architects, RTL, PD, SW, Bring-up) to deliver best in class power solutions PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 10+ years of relevant work experience focused on computer architecture and power, with a strong understanding of the factors influencing power efficiency at chip, system, and product levels. Expert at tackling multi-variable problems via system level modeling, testing and characterization, trend analysis/projection, and model verification Computing and Graphics architecture Power architecture and design Creating power models to evaluate architectural tradeoffs with key workloads A drive to continuously learn and expand architectural breadth and depth Understands GPU power/performance, SW power architecture, and system-level trade-offs Graphics Shader behavior is a benefit OpenGL/OpenCL/D3D programming is a benefit RTL design and/or verification is a benefit Power tools and technologies is a benefit LEADERSHIP SKILLS Accomplished listener who can analyze, abstract, communicate, and converge on the best ideas. Develop strong partnerships over time with program stakeholders across the organization and develpment partners outside the organization. Excellent verbal communication and written, presentation skills. Excellent interpersonal, organizational, analytical, planning, and teamwork skills. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelors in Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of experience or Masters in Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering with 8+ years of experience or PhD in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering with 4+ years of experience Mastery of principles of logic and circuit design, software and hardware principles and methods relevant to more complex systems and platforms. #LI-HS3 #LI-HYBRID Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
