About the role

Senior technical solutions role focused on architecture, integration, and ecosystem leadership to accelerate adoption of AMD technology across open-source and enterprise ecosystems, including collaboration across AMD and external partners to deliver production-oriented, reference architectures and validated deployments.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute AMD's solution engineering strategy for integrating AMD hardware and software into open-source, commercial, enterprise, cloud, and edge ecosystems, creating end-to-end reference architectures, reusable components, integration guides, validated configurations, and customer proof-of-concepts spanning AMD CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, networking, memory, storage, and accelerators.
  • Drive enablement and upstream collaboration across Linux kernels, device drivers, firmware interfaces, system libraries, package ecosystems, container runtimes, Kubernetes, schedulers, service meshes, and observability platforms, and optimize runtime services—including language runtimes, compilers, libraries, inference and data-processing frameworks, communication stacks, and background system services—for AMD architectures.
  • Integrate and optimize relational, NoSQL, analytical, vector, graph, and distributed database platforms on AMD systems, addressing query execution, concurrency, memory hierarchy, storage I/O, networking, resiliency, and scale-out performance.
  • Design stable, secure, high-performance APIs and SDK integration patterns that expose AMD platform capabilities while simplifying application portability and developer adoption, and develop MCP servers, connectors, and reference patterns where MCP provides a practical interface between developer tools, enterprise data, platform services, and selected AI-assisted workflows.
  • Support both AMD + AMD (A+A) and AMD + NVIDIA (A+N) deployment models, improving interoperability, workload portability, operational consistency, and customer choice.
  • Apply rigorous profiling, benchmarking, tracing, and systems analysis to improve latency, throughput, scalability, availability, energy efficiency, total cost of ownership, and quality of service.
  • Build security into solution architectures through confidential computing, trusted execution, attestation, identity, secure boot, software supply-chain controls, cryptography, data protection, governance, and auditability.
  • Enable practical AI workloads where relevant, including model serving, retrieval, vector search, data pipelines, and developer productivity, without making AI the sole focus of the platform solution.
  • Partner directly with strategic customers, hyperscalers, OEMs, ISVs, database and platform vendors, and open-source maintainers to resolve integration barriers and validate production readiness, translating implementation findings and ecosystem requirements into actionable feedback for AMD silicon, firmware, compiler, operating-system, runtime, library, and product roadmaps.
  • Represent AMD through technical publications, conferences, standards bodies, upstream contributions, architecture reviews, and executive customer engagements, and mentor senior engineers and architects in systems integration, open-source engagement, performance engineering, and production solution design.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent advanced industry experience may be considered.
