THE ROLE

AMD is looking for a senior software engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor you will be part of a leading team to drive and enhance AMD’s abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market.

THE PERSON

If you are passionate about AI/ML frameworks, model optimization, and efficient AI deployment on accelerator hardware, this is your opportunity. We are looking for an engineer with strong software development skills, hands-on experience in model compression and low-precision optimization, and the ability to use AI-assisted tools effectively while maintaining strong technical judgment and code quality.

You will work with AI researchers, framework engineers, compiler/runtime teams, hardware experts, and customer-facing teams to build robust optimization software for real-world AI workloads across AMD platforms.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, implement, and maintain model optimization features for AI workloads on AMD hardware platforms.
• Develop quantization, low-precision, and compression capabilities for CNN, Transformer, LLM, and multimodal models.
• Build production-quality Python tools, libraries, APIs, and framework components.
• Support training and fine-tuning workflows for optimized models.
• Analyze and debug accuracy, latency, memory usage, and deployment tradeoffs.
• Collaborate across framework, compiler, runtime, hardware, and application teams.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experience in one or more areas: AI/ML frameworks, model optimization, quantization, training workflows, runtime integration, or accelerator-oriented deployment.
• Hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, ONNX/ONNX Runtime, or similar.
• Strong Python development and debugging skills.
• Experience building production-quality tools, libraries, APIs, or framework components.
• Solid understanding of CNN, LLM, or multimodal model architectures.
• Ability to reason about accuracy, performance, latency, memory footprint, and deployment constraints.
• Demonstrated ability to use AI-assisted tools effectively for software development, debugging, technical exploration, and productivity improvement.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to work with geographically distributed teams.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

-BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or related technical fields.
