AMD is seeking a senior individual contributor software engineer with deepexpertisein performance benchmarking and automation. You will join a core team of highly skilled specialists working with the latest AMD hardware and software platforms to evaluate,optimize, and characterize performance usingreal-world workloads and industry benchmarks.
THE PERSON:You are passionate about software engineering and performance analysis, thrive in complexsystemlevelenvironments, and can drive ambiguous technical problems to resolution. You communicate clearly, collaborate effectively across software and hardware teams, and bringa strong senseof ownership and engineering rigor to your work.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:Benchmarking & Workloads:
- Develop andmaintainautomated benchmarking workflows using commercial ISV applications (e.g., Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Suite, games) to evaluate CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and platform performance.
- Design and implement hardware aware of workloads and microbenchmarks to characterize system and SoC performance.
- Ensure benchmark repeatability,result in integrity, and controlled variance across platforms.
Infrastructure:
- Build andmaintainautomation and orchestration frameworks for workload execution, result collection, and analysis.
- Improve reliability, observability, and scalability of automated performance runs.
- Integrate application code, scripts, andplatformspecifictooling into unified benchmarking pipelines.
- Collaborate using Git and modern development workflows to deliver high quality, maintainable code.
- Create andmaintaincross-platform solutions supporting Windows, Windows on ARM, macOS, and Linux.
- Develop cross-platform execution and control harnesses using technologies such as QT and/or .NET, including lightweight GUIs used to configure, run, and visualize benchmarking workflows.
Collaboration:
- Debug complex performance issues in collaboration with hardware tracing, power, and performance optimization teams.
- Provide platform instrumentation hooks and infrastructure support to enablelowleveldata collection and analysis.
- Translate raw performance data into actionable insights for internal stakeholders.
- Strong object-oriented programming background; C/C++/C# strongly preferred.
- Excellentproblemsolving, debugging, and system level troubleshooting skills across Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Experience with concurrent programming, threading models, and synchronization primitives.
