The Program Manager partners with architecture, engineering, validation, deployment, customer-facing, and lab operations teams to deliver AI cluster solutions from concept through production readiness. The role helps define customer and platform requirements, establishes integrated execution plans, aligns internal and external stakeholders, and ensures AMD product solution deliverables support cluster bring-up, validation, deployment, and customer lifecycle needs. A bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent is required. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship or transfer.

Responsibilities

• Define, plan, and drive end-to-end AI cluster delivery programs spanning solution architecture, platform readiness, validation, deployment, customer support, and lifecycle execution.
