Silicon Design Engineer 2

May 2025 – Present · 11 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Hybrid

As a PPA (Power, Performance, and Architect) Engineer at AMD, I focus on analyzing and optimizing GPU performance across diverse workloads. My work involves running and characterizing high-compute workloads on different GPU models to evaluate key metrics such as latency, bandwidth, throughput, and efficiency for various data types.
I collaborate closely with design and architecture teams to identify bottlenecks, fine-tune system configurations, and enhance performance across next-generation compute architectures. My efforts contribute to delivering power-efficient, high-performance GPU solutions that cater to the growing demands of AI, HPC, and data center applications.
Strong foundation in High Performance and Scientific Computing with emphasis on processor performance, memory hierarchy, parallel algorithms, OpenMP and MPI programming, multi-core and vector computing, GPGPU concepts, parallel debugging, and performance analysis using scientific computing libraries such as BLAS, LAPACK, and PETSc. This coursework closely aligns with performance optimization and silicon efficiency goals.
