Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuityand a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’lldiscover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges-striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.\nTHE ROLE:\nAs a member of the Computing & Graphics (CG) SoC Architecture team, you will develop and design custom silicon for client, discrete graphics, handheld gaming, gaming consoles, and related platforms. In this role, you will work with the lead SoC architect to define customer-specific architectures and contribute to product specifications, micro-architecture specifications, performance, and power trade-offs. The role will work from early concept development through the development phases to final production.\nTHE PERSON:\nIn this role, you will collaborate with a network of expert architects and designers around the world where collaboration and communication skills are critical to the success of this role, and excellent organization skills are essential. You will approach sophisticated problems with a firm methodology and problem-solving technique and conduct experiments and analysis to formulate recommendations and next steps for other colleagues and SOC and IP design teams located in across multiple time zones and geographies. You will formally present your findings to co-workers, teams, and customer engineering teams.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nSupport pathfinding activities to influence and define next-generation architecture\nAnalyze design tradeoffs in terms of performance, power and area impact\nAnalyze and compile competitive analysis data\nCollaborate with architecture leads to translate product requirements into detailed specifications\nWork with AMD’s Engineering teams and IP teams to ensure architectural alignment of features and clean interoperability and integration \nDevelop and maintain comprehensive end-to-end process documentation to ensure cross-team alignment and clarity for execution\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nSolid understanding of SoC construction including fabric connectivity, memory systems, power delivery, clock distribution, floor planning, and packaging\nSkills in scripting, data analysis, experience with EDA tools, VLSI design flow and CMOS technology.\nStrong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills with the ability to work in a dynamic and diverse environment\nStrong analytical skills with the ability to approach novel problems from multiple perspectives and at varying levels of abstraction\nAbility to analyze and understand sophisticated workflows and processes, and develop innovative ways in streamlining and automating\nProven ability to translate complex technical details into clear, concise, and well-structured documentation\nProficiency in scripting languages (Perl, TCL, Python) is highly preferred\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nBachelors, Masters, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.\nLOCATIONS:\nAustin, TX. or Boxborough, MA.\nThis role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
