About the Role

AMD's Datacenter Performance Group is seeking a senior Power & Performance Architect to drive the Power Constrained Performance of our industry-leading AI/ML/HPC GPUs. This role involves owning the Perf@Power attainment of a leading generation of our Instinct accelerators, providing cross-functional leadership for a virtual team that drives all aspects of Perf@Power attainment, including pre-Si modeling, post-Si correlation, workload analysis, setting PPA targets and driving attainment, power/perf roll-ups and reporting, methodology innovations and development. Passion for performance and power efficiency, influence without authority, and excellent communication skills are key.

Responsibilities

Own power-constrained performance modeling, projections, implementation target setting and attainment tracking from Concept-exit (pre-si) to Product launch (post-si) for AMD Instinct AI/ML/HPC accelerators
Work with business unit and product architecture to define product configurations, capabilities and P&P targets
Cross functionally lead P&P attainment by working with various engineering functions including SOC architecture, System Design, IP Design, Circuit Design, Foundry team, CAD, Physical Design, Software, Power Management, Post-si validation
Roll-up Power/Performance readouts, present in executive forums, motivate cross-functional teams on power efficiency improvements
Mentor junior engineers and develop skillsets and methodologies in the team for important PPA domains like Power Modeling at various stages of SoC development, Cdyn/Leakage/STA/Area trade-offs and attainment, Silicon Power/Performance debug, Post Si calibration of models, Work-load power analysis

Requirements

Background in Computer Architecture, Processor/Accelerator development
Experience in Power/Performance projections, modeling and optimization at SoC or System level
Familiarity with digital logic physical design and power management techniques (clock gating, power gating, V-F curves, p-states, on-die voltage regulation, clock integrity, etc..)
Familiarity with post-silicon power/performance debug, model correlation
Fluency in communicating with various engineering teams, business leads and executive management
Knowledge of DL/ML/LLM/MoE workloads will be a bonus
This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
