## Description

Job Role and Responsibility: Xilinx, Inc., a subsidiary of AMD, Inc., is hiring Systems Design Engineer to Research, design, develop, and/or test operating systems-level software, compilers, and/or network distribution software for semiconductor operations, applying principles and techniques of computer science, electronic engineering, and mathematical analysis. Design and develop novel algorithms for tiling and mapping quantized ML workloads on application specific hardware platforms. Analyze and transform intermediate representations of ML models (computational graphs) for efficient execution. Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software for enhancements and new semiconductor products. Develop software and tools in support of electronic design, infrastructure and technology platforms, including operating systems, compilers, routers, networks, and/or databases. Develop and maintain unit tests and integration tests for the compiler to support different generations of HW architectures.
Determine hardware compatibility and/or influence hardware design. Implement compiler optimizations for performance, resource usage, and compute efficiency. Drive projects or processes of significant technical importance. Exercise independent judgment to select methods, techniques and evaluation criteria for obtaining results with little to no supervision. Utilize knowledge of computers and electronics, including computer hardware and software, applications, and programming, as well as knowledge of the practical application of engineering science and technology. Apply knowledge of engineering principles, best practices, and technologies to the design, development, and testing of various company systems and products., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
