## Description

As a CPU Core Performance Engineer, you will have a unique opportunity to architect, design and model performance features in AMD's next-generation CPU core. You will work in the center of an experienced, skilled, and motivated engineering team with a track record of success. As a member of the CPU Core performance team, you will work on the leading edge of processor technology to define CPU Architecture and collaborate with RTL design, Verification and Post-Silicon teams to make AMD's ambitious future CPU roadmap a reality., * Architecture, design and modeling of high-performance CPU core features working on CPU core performance simulator.

 * Correlation of performance features across performance simulator and actual CPU processor design in a pre-silicon simulation, emulation as well as post-silicon setting.
 * Innovate technical ideas related to CPU architecture through CPU performance modeling ideas and techniques:
 * Workload and trace analysis, ideation and development of CPU core performance features.
 * High-level modeling of features to perform feasibility analysis on new performance features.
 * Cycle-accurate core microarchitecture CPU core performance simulator development on features that have more detailed specifications.
 * RTL model vs performance simulator model correlation
 * Post-silicon performance analysis and correlation
 * Lead team, meet schedule commitments and provide strong support to various customers related to performance modeling and correlation.
 * Collaborate with multi-functional teams and technical leads across RTL, Verification, emulation and silicon to drive AMD's success in CPUs used across a variety of market segments., AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position.
