AMD Fellow in the
ROCm software for
New Product Initiatives. This role requires driving architecture, innovation, and developing next generation products across AMD's broad portfolio, serving
Instinct, Radeon, Ryzen, Embedded, Gaming and Autonomous Driving product lines.
The ideal candidate will shape the end-to-end ROCm software strategy and influence the full stack spanning
compilers, kernels, runtime, libraries, models, frameworks, and performance optimization layers. A key expectation is strong
hardware/software co-design leadership to maximize performance, efficiency, scalability, and programmability across diverse AMD products and workloads.
THE PERSON: You are a strong technical leader who is able to work across organizations, align architecture with product goals, and influence both near-term execution and long-term roadmap decisions. You bring deep expertise in at least one major area of the stack, while also demonstrating the curiosity, adaptability, and technical breadth to learn new domains, grow their impact, and influence the broader ecosystem.
As a successful candidate, you are recognized for technical excellence, cross-functional leadership, and the ability to drive company-wide innovation through collaboration across silicon, system software, AI/ML frameworks, libraries, and application enablement teams.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: - Strategic Leadership: Set the technical vision and roadmap for AI software stack across all AMD products, ensuring AMD remains the platform of choice for top-tier AI customers.
- Hardware-Software Co-design: Collaborate across hardware architecture, compiler, math libraries, kernel and framework teams to influence future silicon features based on evolving AI workload trends.
- Workload Performance Engineering: Lead the profiling, analysis, and tuning of large-scale models (LLMs, Diffusion, Multimodal, and MoE) to ensure "out-of-the-box" performance excellence on AMD hardware.
- Ecosystem Innovation: Drive the development of advanced tools and frameworks for performance estimation, modeling, and automated reporting.
- Customer Engagement: Partner with top customers and hyperscalers to understand their unique workload requirements and deliver tailored architectural wins and software optimizations.
- Community & Mentorship: Act as a technical ambassador in industry forums and open-source communities. Mentor and inspire the next generation of AMD's technical leaders and engineers.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: - Knowledge in GPU architectures, basic knowledge of CPU architecture
- Experience in AI/ML software stack spanning compilers, kernels, runtime, libraries, models, frameworks, and performance optimization layers
- Understanding of GPU programming such as ROCm, CUDA, OpenCL, etc
- Experience in hardware/software co-design, building high-performance products across the full product lifecycle.
- Experience with operating systems (OS) and device driver development is a plus
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: - Undergrad degree required. Bachelor of Science, Masters, or PhD degree with emphasis in Electrical Engineering, Computer architecture, or Computer Science with relevant experience preferred
LOCATION;- San Jose, other locations will be considered.
