Director Systems Design Eng.

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences – the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ THE ROLE: As a Wired System Architect, you will be responsible for participating in standards bodies and understanding wired comms technology trends, defining products (silicon, IP, boards), defining system reference designs & implementation, system architecture engagement with customers, ecosystem partner engagements for solution development, and sales & field enablement for AMD technology adoption. This role requires prior experience in system architecture, systems engineering, design & implementation, test & validation, performance benchmarking preferably at leading OEMs for comms infrastructure segments such as packet/ optical networks, security – data & control path, datacenter interconnect, enterprise/ service provider broadband access, and emerging AI ML model inference applications in wired networks. THE PERSON: The ideal person has outstanding problem-solving skills, analytical skills, attention to design details, creative & out of box thinking, interpersonal skills at driving collaboration across cross-functional teams for common goals, penchant for listening to/ learning from peers, persistence & perseverance at the face of obstacles, patience to iterate for optimal solution, and ability to document & share best design practices. AMD culture of execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives is critical for success in this role. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Specify product roadmaps for FPGA/SoC, IP, custom ASIC aligned with technological trends and emerging use cases Identify customer system requirements, develop system architecture proposals to help customer differentiate, lower cost, power, and TTM Contributing to business strategy & successful execution of strategy to fruition, sales and field training/ enablement and demand generation Identify Define system design requirements, design & implementation of system reference designs Guide/ mobilize/ and work with internal engineering teams and partner ecosystem for timely execution of IP and system reference designs Collaborate with Silicon and Tools marketing teams for alignment and execution on product/ market requirements Enable sales and field to drive AMD technology adoption for successful execution on business, revenue, and profitability goals PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 15+ years of experience in design and development of wired subsystems at leading OEM vendors using FPGA/ SoC and/ or ASICs Deep knowledge of Ethernet protocols and associated security standards, packet/ optical networks, and broadband access technologies Expert levels skills in RTL design, FPGA tools and/or ASIC design methodologies Experience in wired subsystem design performance benchmarking, power optimization, and system thermal design considerations Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment with changing deadlines Strong project management, process management, analytical and consulting skills ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Bachelor’s in engineering is a must. Master’s or PhD degree is a plus #LI-NS2 Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.
