We have a competitive benefits package and an award-winning culture. Join us!

THE PERSON:  

An outstanding technical contributor and a passionate and dedicated Server Systems Performance Architect who can help us develop next-generation server simulators and use them to analyze complex workloads. A staff-level or aspiring member of technical staff who can quickly determine, using data, how the next-generation server platforms and high-performance CPUs and GPUs should be engineered to accelerate the adoption of our EPYC processors across cloud, enterprise, and HPC customers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Impact microarchitecture exploration, performance modeling, and analysis for SoC designs that include next-generation CPU cores, GPUs, memory technologies, scalable interconnects, and quality-of-service.
• Advance performance simulation methodologies for next-generation server CPU and GPU exploration and projection.
• Communicate, propose, and implement solutions to processor and system performance issues using an in-depth design architecture and micro-architecture understanding.
• Collaborate in micro-benchmarking, workload characterization, competitive analysis, bottleneck identification, and optimization.
• Develop tools and methodologies for performance analysis of server and deep learning workloads.
• Work well with multiple teams across multiple sites.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Experience with multi-core systems and multi-thread interactions
• Experience with CPU, GPU, or computer system microarchitecture (ideally familiarity with all three)
• Experience with the development and usage of computer system performance models
• Experience with computer workload analysis
• Strong Background in Deep Learning Workloads
• Strong programming skills, including experience with C and Python (or similar)
• Proficiency in principles and methods of microarchitecture, software, and hardware relevant to performance engineering
• Experience in IO subsystem Uarch performance modeling and strong background in PCI-E/CXL Uarch and Protocols

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field preferred
• Master’s or Ph.D. with an emphasis on Computer Architecture and Performance Analysis of Deep Learning and Machine Learning Workloads strongly preferred.
