• Study IP and systemlevel architectural performance using cycleaccurate and abstract models across representative workloads.
• Participate in architecture exploration activities to evaluate performance tradeoffs across current and future AMD products.
• Identify performance bottlenecks in the IP pipeline and propose datadriven architectural enhancements.
• Propose, execute, and oversee architectural case studies using existing silicon, RTL, and performance models.
• Expand, maintain, and document performance modeling frameworks and infrastructure.
• Support performance debugging and analysis in simulation, emulation, and postsilicon environments.
• Investigate performance regressions, interpret results, and define followup actions.
• Analyze trace captures from postsilicon application workloads to inform optimization strategies.
• Analyze complex datasets to help define requirements and direction for nextgeneration IP roadmaps.
• Interface closely with IP and SoC architects, performance verification leads, and performance working groups.
• Communicate findings clearly through meetings, presentations, written reports, and regular updates to engineering peers and management.

• Handson experience with systemlevel or IPlevel performance modeling.
• Background in hardware architecture, RTL design, design verification, or related engineering roles.
• Strong objectoriented programming skills using Python (preferred) and/or C++.
• Familiarity with PC and datacenter system architectures.
• Knowledge of I/O connectivity protocols such as PCI Express and CXL.
• Understanding of datacenter I/O workloads, memory bandwidth, and performance behavior.
