Fellow Firmware Engineering

The Role

AMD is seeking a Fellow to set the technical direction for firmware and systems software across AMDs CPU, GPU and AI platforms, in a fast-paced team that works like a startup inside AMD. You will join as a senior technical leader for firmware that is central to AMDs products, from pre-silicon development to systems in production. There are no component boundaries: you will define the architecture across embedded firmware, Linux kernel drivers, host libraries and tools, telemetry, pre-silicon platforms, and silicon and system bring-up, and you will stay hands-on with the hardest problems across product generations. The decisions you make will shape AMDs firmware roadmap, the engineers you grow, and how the team builds and ships software with AI-native development.

The Person

You are a recognized technical authority in firmware and systems software for CPUs, GPUs, accelerators or other complex SoCs, with a track record of defining architectures that shipped at scale and of personally solving the hardest cross-layer problems. You set direction where none exists, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and drive them to shipped results at a startups pace. You have the credibility and communication skills to influence architects, silicon teams, executives, customers and industry partners, and you take as much pride in growing principal engineers as in the designs and code you contribute yourself.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical vision and end-to-end architecture of the firmware and systems software stack across product generations, spanning RTOS firmware, Linux drivers, host libraries and tools, and telemetry and management interfaces.
• Shape silicon and system architecture for next-generation products together with AMDs architecture, silicon and platform teams, bringing firmware, software, telemetry and debuggability requirements in early.
• Stay hands-on: prototype critical paths, review designs and code across every layer, and personally lead the hardest debugging across hardware, firmware and software.
• Define the strategy for pre-silicon development, silicon bring-up and system validation, and for the engineering systems (CI, automated regression and debug tooling) that let the team move fast.
