CPU Architecture & Physical Synthesis Research Engineer

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_ THE ROLE: AMD is looking for a researcher in the area of CPU architecture with the expertise in physical synthesis to join our growing team. As a key contributor you will be part of a leading team to drive and enhance AMD’s abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market.   THE PERSON: The ideal candidate possesses an innovative and problem-solving mindset, has a keen eye for both Hardware and Software engineering development, and is diligent and passionate about Technology. A successful candidate will need to employ strong knowledge in computer technologies, leadership skills in technical areas, and engineering expertise as well as a strong ability to compete effectively in a fast-paced, relevant environment while working with different teams of engineers and collaborators. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Take part in developing novel techniques and architectures to improve efficiency of future CPUs. Demonstrate integration feasibility of the solutions by physically synthesizing the prototype solutions. Propose and evaluate ideas through a rigorous methodology. Identify impact of the solutions to existing software and hardware components Interact with all stake holders toward successful integration of the solution into future CPUs Develop and drive execution of comprehensive, highly effective software for sophisticated new technology and new product introduction projects. Collaborate closely with multiple teams to deliver key planning solutions and the technology to support them. Help contribute to the design and implementation of future SoC architecture for a highly scalable, durable, and innovative system. Work very closely with dev teams and Project Managers to drive results.  PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Working experience with physical synthesis is required. Exceptional knowledge of CPU micro architecture and cache hierarchy is highly desired. Familiarity of and previous experience in an open-source simulator, such as Gem5 is highly desired. Prior research/project experience to improve CPU efficiency through micro architecture changes is required. Prior experience working with compiler is highly desirable. Working knowledge of HDL (Verilog, System Verilog) is required. Knowledge of Linux kernel is desirable. Prior research/project about interaction between kernel and CPU is beneficial. Strong verbal and written communication skills. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: PhD in Computer/Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline preferred or; Masters in above and related fields with a few years of industry experience preferred #LI-MR1 At AMD, your base pay is one part of your total rewards package.
