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.
THE ROLE
We are seeking an exceptional SoC Architect to lead the architecture definition and technical direction for our next‑generation physical AI SoC platform. This individual will define the overall SoC architecture, drive system‑level innovation, and deliver breakthrough architectures spanning heterogeneous compute, advanced memory systems, AI acceleration, high‑performance interconnects, and leading‑edge I/Os.
As a senior technical leader, you will influence long‑term silicon architecture strategy, collaborate closely with internal/external partners, and guide teams across architecture, design, verification, physical implementation, software, and customer engineering. This role has broad organizational impact and is integral to shaping the future of AMD’s physical AI SoCs.
THE PERSON
You are a recognized industry expert in heterogeneous SoC architecture, with deep experience in CPUs, GPUs, AI acceleration, and high‑bandwidth memory/interconnect design. You excel in driving clarity in complex technical programs, balancing performance, power, area, and cost trade‑offs. You communicate with authority and empathy, influence at executive and engineering levels, and thrive in fast‑paced, cross‑domain environments.
You bring a strong innovation mindset, a passion for emerging workloads—especially in Automotive, Wireless, and AI—and a track record of delivering differentiated SoC solutions.
