AMD's Data Center GPU organization is transforming the industry with our AI-based Graphic Processors. Our primary objective is to design exceptional products that drive the evolution of computing experiences, serving as the cornerstone for enterprise Data Centers, Artificial Intelligence (AI), HPC, and Embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Work with OEMs, end customers, ISV/IHV partners to understand workload and use case plans that facilitate joint roadmap definition.
• Partner with engineering to help drive reference platform requirements.
• Partner with SoC design teams and product management in providing a unified and clear platform/system-level vision to influence AMD’s SoC roadmap.
• Drive workload and application-level strategies internally and with industry partners/ecosystem.
• Represent and promote AMD datacenter system-level vision in industry consortiums, events, and strategic partnerships.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 10 or more years of applicable experience.
• Broad and deep system technology background, with experience developing, influencing, and collaborating on strategy.
• Ability to translate workload/application trends to system architecture and SOC implications across the entire HW and SW stack.
• Ability to translate highly technical concepts into actionable plans.
• Ability to drive hands-on proof of concepts to collect data and facts.
• Exceptional communication skills to address multiple internal and external stakeholders.
• Comfortable presenting high-level technology, roadmap, and strategy to customers or industry consortiums.
• Skill in analyzing tradeoffs and making analytical, fact-based recommendations that have substantial technical, business, and financial impacts.
• Ability to guide product definition by synthesizing insights from end customers, ISVs/IHVs, and strategic partners.
• Ability to build relationships with strategic customers and partners to ensure that AMD enterprise and embedded products are built to match the evolving needs of the market.
• Collaboration skills to engage a team of engineering, product management, and business development professionals to achieve outstanding business results.

Preferred Experience

• Experience as lead architect/engineer for Enterprise-level storage platforms/sub-systems for markets such as Cloud, AI, Storage, HPC, Edge, 5G, or Embedded compute platforms.
• Deep understanding of computer architectures based on CPUs (x86 experience highly desired; experience with additional CPU architectures a plus).
• Experience developing platforms with high-speed digital design and interconnects and a thorough understanding of the engineering tradeoffs involved.
• Storage & Media experience (e.g., flash, storage-class memory, RAID, SSDs, DDR, NVMe, NVMe-oF, NVM programming).
• Understanding of dataflow and memory tiering concepts.
• Extensive knowledge of storage protocols and architectures.
• Networking & IO experience (e.g., Ethernet, Infiniband, SmartNics, scale-up and scale-out fabrics, NVMe-oF, PCIe, CXL, UCIe).
