ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. 

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. 

 

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

The Role:

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of power efficiency and high‑frequency computing?

As a Power and Frequency Modeling Architect within our Central Methodology team, you will have end‑to‑end visibility and ownership across the entire bounding‑box lifecycle, from concept and early targeting, through feasibility and silicon design, to post‑silicon correlation and production.

In this role, you will establish power and timing targets and develop decision‑grade models for AMD's most advanced energy‑efficient high‑performance CPU cores, graphics, and machine‑intelligence chips. The team collaborates broadly across AMD, engaging on programs that span low‑power APUs to the world's most powerful supercomputers, shaping critical architectural and product decisions at every stage.

 

The Person:

In this multifaceted role, you will have the opportunity to work across multiple divisions to define frequency and power targets and drive the modeling throughout the project lifecycle. We're looking for someone with excellent attention to detail, a passion for problem‑solving, and a curiosity to unravel complex issues to achieve outstanding results!

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsibilities may include a subset of the following topics:
• Generate detailed frequency versus power models in collaboration with design, technology, and post‑silicon teams
• Work with IP/sub-system teams to meet product targets pre‑ and post‑silicon for performance at power and/or power at performance
• Provide feedback and direction to IP teams to drive power and timing optimization efforts and design tradeoffs throughout the project.
• Develop bottoms‑up estimates and top‑down power and frequency targets for new IPs and subsystems

 

Preferred Experience:

• Experience fostering collaboration with team members within and outside the organization across multiple sites.
• Strong data analysis skills and proficiency in Excel and Python
• Strong background of VLSI, digital design, and computer architecture concepts
• Familiarity with the balance between design, frequency, and power
• Knowledge of wafer fabrication technologies and libraries and their respective tradeoffs
• Proficiency in silicon test methodologies

 

Academic Credentials:

• Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field

 

Location:

• Austin, TX
• San Deigo, CA
• Santa Clara, CA
• Ft. Collins, CO
• Boston, MA 

 

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
