Job Description

Step into a pivotal leadership role where you’ll help bring AMD’s leading-edge System-on-Chips (SoCs) to life through advanced virtual environments. As a technical leader, you’ll not only drive the development of high‑performance C++ functional models that enable pre‑silicon firmware, system, driver, and application software development, but also build, manage, and grow a high‑performing engineering team. You will lead a rapidly expanding team of engineers, setting technical direction, scaling execution, and fostering a collaborative, inclusive culture. This role combines hands‑on technical leadership with people management, offering high visibility, significant impact, and strong opportunities for organizational growth and career advancement.

Job Responsibility

  • Drive the development of high‑performance C++ models for AMD SoCs and platform solutions
  • Build, lead, and scale a growing team of SoC functional modeling engineers, providing technical guidance, mentorship, and performance feedback
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to enable workload execution on functional models
  • Establish and evolve best practices for model development, validation, and debugging across an expanding team
  • Design and execute comprehensive test plans using Python to validate and enhance model functionality
  • Proactively improve, stabilize, and optimize existing models to deliver best‑in‑class performance and reliability
  • Foster close technical partnerships with architecture teams to ensure deep understanding of new and emerging designs
  • Champion a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing

Requirements

  • Proven experience in designing and implementing maintainable, performant, professional C++11/14/17 code
  • Familiarity with x86, ARM or GPU architecture, including drivers and applications
  • Proficiency in Linux and Windows kernel debugging
  • Prior involvement in functional modelling, architecture simulation, or hypervisor development
  • Familiarity with modelling technologies such as QEMU, VirtualBox, SystemC, Gem5, SIMICS, dynamic binary translation or JIT
