About the Role

AMD is seeking a senior individual contributor software engineer with deep expertise in performance benchmarking and automation. You will join a core team of highly skilled specialists working with the latest AMD hardware and software platforms to evaluate, optimize, and characterize performance using real-world workloads and industry benchmarks. This role involves technical leadership, cross team collaboration, and ownership of complex benchmarking infrastructure that spans operating systems, platforms, and hardware subsystems.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain automated benchmarking workflows using commercial ISV applications (e.g., Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, games) to evaluate CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and platform performance.
Design and implement hardware aware of workloads and microbenchmarks to characterize system and SoC performance.
Ensure benchmark repeatability, result in integrity, and controlled variance across platforms.
Build and maintain automation and orchestration frameworks for workload execution, result collection, and analysis.
Improve reliability, observability, and scalability of automated performance runs.
Integrate application code, scripts, and platform specific tooling into unified benchmarking pipelines.
Collaborate using Git and modern development workflows to deliver high quality, maintainable code.
Create and maintain cross-platform solutions supporting Windows, Windows on ARM, macOS, and Linux.
Develop cross-platform execution and control harnesses using technologies such as QT and/or .NET, including lightweight GUIs used to configure, run, and visualize benchmarking workflows.
Debug complex performance issues in collaboration with hardware tracing, power, and performance optimization teams.
Provide platform instrumentation hooks and infrastructure support to enable low level data collection and analysis.
Translate raw performance data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders.

Requirements

Strong object-oriented programming background; C/C++/C# strongly preferred.
Excellent problem solving, debugging, and system level troubleshooting skills across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Experience with concurrent programming, threading models, and synchronization primitives.
Proficiency with software development tools and processes, including debuggers, profilers, and Git based source control.
Experience writing microbenchmarks to measure performance characteristics of CPUs, GPUs, or SoCs.
Experience automating real-world applications and/or games into scalable test suites.
Familiarity with QT or .NET application frameworks, including MVVM architecture, databinding, and custom renderers.
Exposure to OS level development on Windows, Linux, and/or Android is a plus.
