THE ROLE AMD is seeking an experienced Performance Modeling Engineer to drive best‑in‑class system‑ and IP‑level performance for next‑generation AMD products, with a strong emphasis on I/O and memory‑subsystem performance. In this role, you will focus on pre‑silicon modeling through post‑silicon performance optimization, partnering closely with architects, designers, and verification teams to study performance behavior long before RTL is finalized. This is a highly visible, greenfield‑oriented role where your analysis and recommendations directly influence architectural tradeoffs, IP roadmaps, and real silicon outcomes in a fast‑moving, engineering‑driven environment

THE PERSON You bring a strong foundation in hardware architecture, performance analysis, and modeling, and you enjoy working at the intersection of data, architecture, and system‑level behavior. You are comfortable using cycle‑accurate and higher‑level models to study IP performance across realistic system workloads, identify bottlenecks, and propose practical architectural solutions. You are also a clear, effective communicator who can articulate complex performance findings, assumptions, and tradeoffs to cross‑functional partners and engineering leadership

You thrive in collaborati
