AMD's Computing and Graphics business unit is seeking a technical leader to drive next-generation power architecture, firmware, algorithms, and software interfaces across AMD client and handheld SoCs. In this highly influential role, you will help define the power-management architecture for future AMD platforms—driving innovation from early concept and definition, through design execution, and into post-silicon validation. You will collaborate closely with SoC and platform architects, IP and physical design teams, software and firmware engineering, silicon validation, and packaging teams to deliver breakthrough improvements in power efficiency, performance-per-watt, and battery life. This is an opportunity to have a direct and visible impact on AMD's most advanced products. This senior role will stretch you as you lead architecture teams in new directions, network with our world-class, patent-holding think-tank, and negotiate amongst design teams, marketing, and business unit executives.
Job Responsibility:
Develop and architect new power algorithms and software features using state-of-the-art techniques, including classifiers, regression models, machine learning approaches for CPU/GPU power and performance optimization
Define and implement software interfaces that influence and optimize hardware behavior across the SoC
Prototype and develop new firmware for complex power-control algorithms throughout the SoC roadmap
Profile emerging NN and LLM (Agentic) workloads on client platforms
tune algorithms to optimize power during active, high-load, and interactive usage scenarios
Analyze power and performance benchmarks to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements
Architect, implement, and optimize control software and firmware features to achieve product-level power targets
Drive cross-organization alignment for innovative power-reduction methodologies and ensure convergence across design teams
Collaborate with global architecture and design teams to implement and validate SoC power-management solutions
Optimize real PC use cases for both absolute power and performance-per-watt
Work directly with development boards to prototype new features and evaluate new power features
Conduct software tracing, firmware debugging, and activity profiling to diagnose issues and drive improvements
