Agentic AI Systems Architecture Fellow
Austin, TX, Santa Clara, CA$233.6kFull-timePosted 2mo ago
About the role
AMD’s Software and Solutions Team seeks an Agentic AI Systems Architecture Fellow to define the architectural vision and technical strategy for next-generation Agentic AI systems built on AMD’s heterogeneous computing portfolio, including CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, and software platforms. The role focuses on architectural innovation, technical strategy, and hands-on performance engineering without people management responsibilities.
Responsibilities
- Define AMD’s architectural vision and long-term technical strategy for Agentic AI, and bring it to life through real-world use cases, reference implementations, and early customer proof-of-concepts.
- Architect end-to-end reference architectures optimizing heterogeneous execution across AMD CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, memory, and storage — with particular attention to CPU-centric platform architectures alongside GPU-based approaches — supporting both AMD + AMD (A+A) and AMD + NVIDIA (A+N) deployment models.
- Experience with agentic AI benchmarks required including agent orchestration, planning, routing and verification
- Demonstrate advantages of EPYC-based platforms and architecture for agentic workloads vs. other x86 and ARM alternatives
- Partner with Silicon architecture and engineering to define the next-gen features for a holistic A+A advantage
- Architect intelligent multi-agent systems and orchestration frameworks, defining optimization strategies for task decomposition, workflow scheduling, reasoning pipelines, and end-to-end performance across heterogeneous compute resources.
- Develop innovative approaches for data optimization and intelligent data structures, and lead integration of frontier foundation models with retrieval systems, enterprise applications, and edge/sovereign AI deployments.
- Drive architectural innovations that improve deterministic AI behavior and reliability, incorporating data governance and security practices (including data provenance and trusted execution) as part of a production-ready architecture.
- Collaborate with silicon architecture, software engineering, and AI framework teams to influence future silicon and software roadmaps, and partner with hyperscalers, OEMs, ISVs, and open-source communities to accelerate adoption of AMD AI platforms.
- Represent AMD as a recognized technical authority through customer engagements, industry conferences, and technical publications.
Qualifications
- Top skills in Agentic AI systems architecture, heterogeneous AI infrastructure, and AI performance engineering with strong CPU-based platform experience
- Experience designing large-scale AI infrastructure, distributed AI systems, or enterprise AI architectures across CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, and storage
- Understanding of ROCm™, AMD Enterprise AI, AMD Zen Software Studio, frontier foundation models, LLM inference, sglang, lmcache, RAG, and AI orchestration frameworks
- Experience architecting Agentic AI systems — multi-agent collaboration, orchestration frameworks, autonomous reasoning, and workflow optimization
- Expertise in data optimization, model deployment and supporting enterprise-scale AI systems
- Strong knowledge in AI performance engineering — latency, throughput, token efficiency, and heterogeneous resource utilization
- Familiarity with trusted/secure AI practices (confidential computing, data provenance, governance) is a plus
- Recognized technical leadership through patents, publications/presentations, or open-source contributions
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related technical discipline preferred
