Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives.
AMD together we advance_
The Role
AMD’s Cores Organization delivers industry leading CPU’s and caches that are the foundation of AMD’s server, client, and gaming business. We are looking for a Fellow-level experienced design engineer to join this innovative team as a technical expert and work in the areas of performance modeling, performance analysis, and microarchitecture development. The candidate will be a key contributor and leader for AMD’s next generation cores and caches. The candidate will join the team based in Fort Collins, CO.
The Person
The candidate should have strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to details. We work on programs with long timelines, so self-motivation and a commitment to meeting deadlines is required. We are pushing the envelope on chip performance, so the status quo must be challenged on every program. This requires creativity and innovation, but also excellent verbal and written communication skills. We work in small teams, but we are part of a large cross-site Core’s organization, so teamwork is also vital our success.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with a small, dedicated team of hardware and software engineers to optimize the performance of CPUs, caches, and interconnect.
- Develop and enhance cycle-accurate core, cache, and SoC (System on a chip) performance simulators.
- Develop other simulators at different abstraction levels.
- Use those simulators as well as analytical methods, emulation, and post-silicon observation and experimentation to develop and evaluate microarchitecture improvements.
- Develop and improve tools and methodology for performance analysis of workloads.
-
Guide and mentor junior engineers.
- C++ programming and scripting language capabilities
- Computer architecture background with industry experience in architecting processors, caches, and interconnect.
- Familiarity with Digital RTL Design, Software Development, Verilog HDL. Experience writing and debugging RTL.
-
Experience collaborating effectively towards the success of a project by working closely with a diverse team across disciplines.
-
BS/MS/PhD in EE, CS, CSE (or similar), plus 10+ years hardware design experience

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
