Build System Lead- CPU Cores

About the role

We are looking for a LSF infrastructure lead to transition from legacy build systems to modern hyperscale build systems for our next generation products. You will maintain and improve existing functional verification methodology, improve existing infrastructure, and work on related projects and/or assignments as needed to meet team goals. Additionally, you will perform project definition, training and documentation. Finally, you will work with architects and TG/PG RTL/Designers and develop an effective working relationship with parties involved.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and optimization of scalable build infrastructure to significantly reduce model build turnaround times and improve engineering productivity.
• Drive organization-wide build system modernization initiatives, enabling efficient support for Zen architecture, and future CPU core development programs.
• Improve compute resource utilization and LSF farm efficiency through build caching, artifact reuse, and elimination of redundant build processes.
• Architect and implement hyperscale build solutions that enhance performance, reliability, and scalability across AMD's silicon design environments.
• Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise for the transition from legacy build systems to next-generation build architectures.
• Partner with silicon design, CAD, infrastructure, and software engineering teams to define and execute long-term build and automation strategies.
• Establish best practices, standards, and roadmaps for build infrastructure, continuous integration, and large-scale engineering workflows.

Preferred Experience

• Understanding or technical expertise in functional verification of microprocessor designs
• Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog HDL, programming in Perl, C/C++
• Deep expertise in build systems, build orchestration, and large-scale software or silicon development environments
• Strong experience designing and operating distributed or hyperscale build infrastructure
• Proven track record improving build performance, reducing turnaround time, and increasing engineering productivity at scale
• Experience with compute farm scheduling technologies (e.g., LSF or similar workload management platforms)
• Strong understanding of build caching, artifact management, dependency optimization, and build reproducibility techniques
• Experience supporting semiconductor design workflows, EDA environments, or chip development programs
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex infrastructure transformation initiatives across multiple engineering organizations
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to influence technical direction across cross-functional teams
• Experience driving automation, CI/CD, and infrastructure scalability in high-performance engineering environments

Qualifications
