THE ROLE AMD is seeking an experienced Performance Modeling Engineer to drive bestinclass system and IPlevel performance for nextgeneration AMD products, with a strong emphasis on I/O and memorysubsystem performance. In this role, you will focus on presilicon modeling through postsilicon performance optimization, partnering closely with architects, designers, and verification teams to study performance behavior long before RTL is finalized. This is a highly visible, greenfieldoriented role where your analysis and recommendations directly influence architectural tradeoffs, IP roadmaps, and real silicon outcomes in a fastmoving, engineeringdriven environment.
THE PERSON
You bring a strong foundation in hardware architecture, performance analysis, and modeling, and you enjoy working at the intersection of data, architecture, and systemlevel behavior. You are comfortable using cycleaccurate and higherlevel models to study IP performance across realistic system workloads, identify bottlenecks, and propose practical architectural solutions.
You are also a clear, effective communicator who can articulate complex performance findings, assumptions, and tradeoffs to crossfunctional partners and engineering leadership. You thrive in collaborative, lowmicromanagement environments and proactively share insights, progress, and recommendations that help teams make informed design decisions.
