About the role
Performance engineer role focused on RTL and system-level analysis for AMD’s Infinity Fabric Interconnect, delivering low-latency memory interconnects across Data Center, Gaming, Client, and Semi-Custom lines. Involves hardware simulation, performance verification, and collaboration across architecture, design, and modeling teams.
Responsibilities
- Perform RTL performance analysis and verification for the Infinity Fabric Interconnect.
- Provide technical leadership while collaborating closely with architecture, design, and modeling teams on high‑performance SoC memory system designs.
- Execute performance verification plans at the IP level and support SoC‑level performance debug using both simulation and emulation environments.
- Conduct theoretical analysis of memory system optimizations; develop, run, and analyze benchmarks in simulation and/or emulation environments.
- Debug performance failures, identify design bottlenecks, and propose data‑driven architectural or RTL solutions.
- Develop and enhance debug infrastructure, tooling, and visualization solutions to accelerate performance analysis and root‑cause identification.
- Leverage AI‑based tools and automation to improve engineering productivity and performance analysis workflows.
Qualifications
- Proven experience in RTL performance analysis and debug using hardware simulation/emulation platforms
- Hands‑on experience with simulation testbench bring‑up, configuration, and development of new performance test cases.
- Strong system‑level performance debug experience across complex IP interactions, including CPU, GPU, and I/O workloads.
- Deep understanding of memory system architecture and interconnect design.
- Excellent knowledge of Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Working knowledge of C, C++, and a scripting language such as Python or Perl.
- Solid understanding of multiprocessor coherency, memory ordering, I/O ordering, interrupts, MMU, and cache architectures.
- Strong debugging, data analysis, and technical presentation skills.
- BS, MS, or PhD degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering. Advance degree preferred.
