Job summary

AMD is seeking a senior technical leader in Penang to shape post-silicon performance characterization for Data Center products across single-node to rack-scale deployments. You will set technical direction, mentor engineers, and drive optimization across hardware, firmware, drivers, and platforms.

You will lead cross-team efforts to design experiments, improve power and performance efficiency, and translate silicon behavior into validated product outcomes for HPC and ML workloads.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Define performance-characterization strategies for AMD Data Center products, spanning HPC and ML workloads and single-node through multi-node deployments.
• Establish scalable, repeatable workload-execution and performance-data-collection frameworks.
• Influence product power, thermal, and performance definition by connecting architectural goals to measured silicon and system behavior.
• Lead the development and evolution of characterization and optimization test plans across diverse usage scenarios.
• Drive performance attainment across scale-up and scale-out configurations, including:
• Multi-GPU scaling efficiency within a node
• Interconnect bandwidth utilization, including XGMI / Infinity Fabric
• Collective communication efficiency and communication–compute overlap
• Strong- and weak-scaling behavior
• Rack- and cluster-level bottleneck identification and mitigation.
• Analyze interactions among power-management features, thermal behavior, and performance; develop configurations that balance throughput and performance-per-watt.
• Identify architectural and system-level bottlenecks, and design experiments that expose and help mitigate worst-case performance scenarios.
• Lead prototyping and experimentation to evaluate architectural, firmware, driver, and platform enhancements.
• Drive complex root-cause investigations across hardware, firmware, drivers, platform, and workload stacks through to resolution and performance closure.
• Serve as a technical authority across teams; communicate findings, tradeoffs, and recommendations to engineering stakeholders.
• Mentor engineers and raise the technical quality and consistency of post-silicon performance methodologies, tools, and workflows.
