Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

As the Power and Performance Attainment and Feature Enablement Lead you will be expected to be a Cross Functional Technical Leader for Power and Performance (PnP) workstreams on your product, guiding it from PreSi Definition / Planning through Program End of Life. The role requires an unusual mix of technical breadth, problem solving, and soft collaboration skills.

This is an ideal role for the ambitious engineer who: is passionate about the power and performance domain, desires to make impactful product decisions, and can thrive in a high-visibility role. Each week will bring new challenges and your ability to solve problems, be the voice for the customer, and to inspire others to solve problems will make a meaningful difference for the whole organization, final product AMD produces, as well as to the industry itself. Success requires driving complex cross functional technical decisions / tradeoffs while maintaining an even keel. You will need to learn as you go and mentor (and be mentored) along the way as well. When you read product reviews you will be able to see your fingerprints all over that products successes and where you have opportunities to improve the next product.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Lead teams to performance/watt attainment for Client products developing strategies for test, feature enablement, debug, analysis, & defect resolution throughout the course of a program.
  • Work closely with the System and SoC Architects to set power and performance attainment objectives, define the features that get us to those goals.
  • Develop methodologies to enable, integrate and optimize HW and SW power management features to maximize performance and user-experience across Client use cases.
  • Drive Mission Mode PnP product bounding box attainment, definition of full product stack, and produce advisory data to customers on same.
  • Provide relevant inputs to drive PnP teams in creation of strategies & test plans for product-specific performance/watt, features, and target market spaces as appropriate; identify risks & build mitigation plans.
  • Drive the definition, enablement and integration of performance & power management features such as C-state and Pstate algorithms, IP Dynamic Power management, FW active power management algorithms, and thermal management.
  • Lead cross-functional technical teams in the triage, debug and resolution of Power Management Feature and PnP issues.
  • Engage with cross-functional leadership to integrate deliverables with project work streams.
  • Ensure seamless enablement of PMM features from design through silicon validation, firmware integration, and system-level deployment.
