System Power & Performance Engineer
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated System Power & Performance Engineer to join our System PnP team . This role will have a dual focus :
Benchmarking, Profiling, and bottleneck analysis on AMD's system PnP stack, with emphasis on Linux and virtualized environments.
Driving competitive benchmarking across market segments, comparing AMD SoCs against competition.
The ideal candidate will combine strong technical depth in system performance analysis with a passion for competitive evaluation, ensuring AMD delivers industry-leading performance and power efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
System Power & Performance / PnP
Execute and own system performance including low level profiling and bottleneck analysis on AMD's SoCs, focusing on Linux (Ubuntu, Yocto), Windows, FReeRTOS and virtualized software stacks for Robotics, automotive and industrial.
Perform benchmark characterization, system-level tuning, micro architecture and workload analysis across CPU, GPU, NPU, AI and memory subsystems.
Collaborate with SoC architects, BIOS/FW teams, and software developers to identify performance gaps and recommend optimizations.
Generate comprehensive technical reports, dashboards, and documentation for leadership reviews, customer engagements, and outbound collateral.
Contribute to automation for benchmark execution, data collection, and results visualization.
Work with cross-functional teams to debug system-level issues blocking performance goals.
Competitive Benchmarking
Drive competitive benchmarking initiatives by running workloads on competitive platforms (Nvidia, Intel, Qualcomm, ARM-based SoCs) and building comparative landscapes across segments (client, embedded, industrial, automotive).
Build comparative performance landscapes across segments including client, embedded, server, industrial, and automotive.
Provide actionable insights that help influence future SoC, firmware, and platform design.
Automation, Reporting & Documentation
Support development of automation for benchmark execution, data collection, and results visualization.
Generate technical reports, dashboards, and documentation for leadership and customer engagements.
