Job Description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you'll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.

Job Responsibility

  • Apply your expertise to shape AI infrastructure by creating reference architectures, configuration guides, and deployment blueprints that help internal teams and customers make informed hardware and software decisions
  • Perform deep technical evaluations of AI stacks across compute, storage, networking, and observability layers, documenting how they work, where they fit, and the tradeoffs involved
  • Design and execute reproducible experiments and benchmarking harnesses to compare technologies such as schedulers, distributed training libraries, and observability stacks
  • Develop small reference implementations and tools to validate performance hypotheses, analyze system behavior and more
  • Build a library of technical artifacts—including presentations, design documents, and “how it works” guides, to support pre-sales engineers and enable others to skill up from an HPC perspective
  • Present findings through demos, documentation, and internal talks, and create templates and checklists to support repeatable evaluations and cluster designs

Requirements

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in electrical or computer engineering
  • Evidence of end-to-end systems thinking, debugging, and tradeoff decisions
  • hands-on familiarity with at least two schedulers and/or orchestration systems (e.g., Slurm, Kubernetes), MPI/OpenMP, distributed storage patterns, or performance analysis
  • experience writing evaluation docs/RFCs with clear criteria, benchmarks, risks, and recommendations
  • Strong Linux fundamentals: Linux operating systems, networking, filesystems, containers, performance tooling (perf, flamegraphs, nvprof/rocprof, basic eBPF)
  • ability to turn complex systems into accessible, structured documentation with diagrams and reproducible steps
  • ROCm, RCCL, Instinct GPUs, EPYC platforms, compiler/toolchain impacts, and performance tuning
  • DDP, collective comms, sharded/stateful optimizers
  • NCCL/RCCL behavior and transport considerations (PCIe, NVLink, IF)
  • Slurm configuration patterns, Kubernetes for HPC/AI (GPU operators, device plugins), Apptainer/Singularity
  • parallel filesystems (Lustre, BeeGFS), object stores, RDMA, data pipeline throughput and caching strategies
  • Terraform/Ansible for reproducible blueprints—focused on design and sample configs, not running prod clusters
  • reproducible docs/workbooks, literate programming notebooks, CI for benchmarks
