The Role:

The Architectural Modeling (AM) team provides a timed simulation of all graphics products at AMD. Our tools are utilized to predict the performance of the next-gen product across different GPU families and to support early SW stack bring-up.

As a member of the AM team you will:

Define the Future of GPU: Data from AM simulations is used by AMD GPU architects to identify areas of potential enhancement in our next-gen products. The AM team develops a variety of tools and datapoints that make finding performance problems easier. You will work hand-in-hand with architects to define the future of AMD GPU products.
Discover GPU Architecture: As an AM engineer you will have the opportunity to work on the entire graphics and compute pipeline of our world beating products. Gain experience in all areas of GPU architecture.
Enhance State-of-the-Art Simulations: AM is a C++ simulator, with Python postscripts for data visualization. As an AM engineer you can leverage your expertise in these languages to improve simulation runtime, memory consumption, and complexity.
Drive Reduction in Product Timescales: Here at AMD finding ways to reduce timescales and beat our competitors to market is key. The AM simulation tools are central to that. Through early-stage support of new architectures we can give our Driver & Compiler teams a valuable kick-start well ahead of RTL being available.

The Candidate:

As a GPU modeling engineer, you will work in a hardware/software codesign environment to craft industry leading simulation platforms and tools. You will have a strong voice in the next generation of AMD products and get to learn and contribute to the entire graphics pipeline and software/hardware stack. The ideal candidate is a highly skilled software designer and engineer, who is proficient in C++, with a passion for hardware architecture. Knowledge of GPU hardware and the efficient use of discrete GPUs, APUs, and mobile devices is an advantage. The candidate will work in a big team environment on a variety of opportunities, so teamwork and drive are essential.

Key Responsibilities:

Architect, model and analyze hardware and software features to improve product performance, abilities, and cost.
Develop tools and algorithms to identify and eliminate performance limiters.
Design, implement, assess, document and test new features for next-gen products.
Be a developer, leader, and owner of the Architectural Modeling Tool.

Preferred Experience:

The ideal candidate will have experience and/or knowledge of a number of the following areas...

Programming skills in C++ and python.
Hardware architecture experience.
Modeling, simulation and/or emulation tools.
Computer graphics theory and related mathematics.
GPU architecture, drivers and/or compilers.
GPU general-purpose computing.
D3D, Vulkan and OpenGL graphics applications.
OpenCL/CUDA/ROCm development.

Academic Credentials

We are looking for new graduate as well as experienced applicants. Bachelors, Masters, and PhD with different years of industry experience in relevant field.
