C-Simulation Engineer, GPU Modeling

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career. THE ROLE: AMD is seeking a C-Simulation Engineer to help shape the future of GPU technology. In this role, you will develop software models that enable the exploration, validation, and optimization of next-generation graphics architectures before silicon is available. Working at the intersection of software and hardware, you will build and enhance C/C++ simulation models used to evaluate new features, analyze performance, and support key design decisions. You will collaborate closely with architecture, design, verification, firmware, and software engineering teams to solve complex technical challenges and contribute to innovative graphics and computing technologies. THE PERSON: You are a naturally curious engineer who enjoys understanding how things work beneath the surface and solving complex problems alongside others. You thrive in collaborative environments where software is used to model real-world hardware behavior, requiring both analytical thinking and attention to detail. You communicate effectively, embrace continuous learning, and take ownership of challenges from investigation through resolution. A passion for innovation, teamwork, and delivering high-quality results will help you succeed in this role. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Develop and maintain C/C++ simulation models used for architecture evaluation, performance analysis, and hardware verification. Model hardware behavior to support the design and validation of next-generation GPU technologies. Debug complex software issues and investigate discrepancies between simulation models and hardware implementations. Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, firmware, emulation, validation, and software engineering teams. Analyze simulation results and provide feedback to improve product quality, functionality, and performance. Support the development and integration of new features within existing simulation environments. Contribute to large-scale software projects using modern development practices and version control systems. Participate in technical discussions and help drive solutions for complex engineering challenges. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: Proven hands-on experience with object-oriented programming in C/C++. Strong software development, debugging, and problem-solving skills. Experience working in Linux or UNIX environments. Good understanding of computer organization and computer architecture concepts. Familiarity with software development tools, debuggers, IDEs, and version control systems. Experience working with large-scale software codebases. Exposure to hardware modeling, simulation, verification, or performance analysis. Knowledge of GPU, graphics, CPU, or related hardware architectures is preferred. Exposure to firmware development or debugging is a plus. Experience with scripting languages such as Python is beneficial. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field preferred. This role is not eligible for Visa sponsorship. #LI-LC3 #LI-HYBRID Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance. AMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services. AMD and its subsidiaries are equal opportunity, inclusive employers and will consider all applicants without regard to age, ancestry, color, marital status, medical condition, mental or physical disability, national origin, race, religion, political and/or third-party affiliation, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates and will accommodate applicants’ needs under the respective laws throughout all stages of the recruitment and selection process. AMD may use Artificial Intelligence to help screen, assess or select applicants for this position. AMD’s “Responsible AI Policy” is available here. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
