Job description

AMD is seeking a Fellow Software Development Engineer to develop features in the tensile-lite assembly code generator for General Matrix Multiplication (GEMM) and GEMM + X. This role focuses on optimizing AMD's GPU architecture for AI workload efficiency and requires deep hardware-aware optimization skills. The engineer will work closely with hardware architects and innovate algorithms to enhance performance. This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in GPU microarchitecture and low-level code generation.

Requirements

  • Strong command of GPU computer architecture, including compute units and memory bandwidth.
  • Deep expertise in GEMM algorithms and their mapping onto GPU hardware.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with a track record of high-performance software.
  • Demonstrated experience optimizing GPU compute kernels, particularly GEMM and attention.
  • Proficiency in C++ and assembly-level GPU programming, with knowledge of Python for tooling.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze AMD GPU hardware specifications and align kernel design with silicon capabilities.
  • Develop support for new ISA and HW/SW optimization features in the code-generator.
  • Innovate and implement new algorithms for GEMM and GEMM + X.
  • Profile and root-cause GEMM performance bottlenecks across the stack.
  • Partner with customers and stakeholders to understand workload requirements and deliver targeted performance.

Benefits

  • AMD provides a competitive 'Total Rewards' package that focuses on financial growth, health, and work-life balance.
