You possess deep knowledge of AI hardware architecture and software optimization, with the ability to map emerging model architectures to low-level software. You are an exceptional communicator who can translate complex technical challenges into strategic roadmaps and influence senior leadership, while also engaging deeply with key customers to solve their most critical performance needs. ### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Strategic Leadership: Set the technical vision and roadmap for workload optimization across the AI software stack, ensuring AMD remains the platform of choice for top-tier AI customers. ### 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. ### Customer Engagement Partner with top customers and hyperscalers to understand their unique workload requirements and deliver tailored architectural wins and software optimizations. ### Hardware-Software Co-design Collaborate across hardware architecture, compiler, and framework teams to influence future silicon features based on evolving AI workload trends. ### Ecosystem Innovation Drive the development of advanced tools and frameworks for performance estimation, modeling, and automated reporting. ### 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 Deep software development experience with experience in a high-level technical leadership role (Fellow or equivalent). Deep expertise in AI Frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, vLLM, SGLang) and the ROCm software stack. Proven history of optimizing distributed inference and training at scale across multi-node/multi-GPU environments. Mastery of performance profiling tools (e.g., TorchProfiler, ROCm Profiler, Nsight) and hardware-level performance modeling. Strong understanding of modern model architectures (Transformer, Attention, KV Cache) and optimization techniques like quantization, speculative decoding, and FlashAttention. Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments. ### PREFERRED ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS Master’s degree or Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Demonstrated research or applied experience in AI/ML, including areas such as deep learning, model training / inference optimization, large language models, or computer vision. ### LOCATION Seatle, WA #LI-DNI This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship. ### Benefits offered are described AMD benefits at a glance.
