ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. THE ROLE: AMD is looking for a talented leader to help develop innovative solutions and software features, bring up new products, and improve the quality of our existing software. THE PERSON: We are looking for a firmware development leader to design and implement embedded firmware to enable a wide range of power, performance, and security features. The successful candidate will employ solid design methodologies, deep technical knowledge, and well-honed debug skills across multiple FW components to ensure on-schedule, defect-free system firmware product development, enabling critical firmware development to data center customers. The engineer will engage as an active team player, driving cross team development, provide leadership to developers, and always be ready to take on new challenges. There is an opportunity to provide technical leadership and guidance to developers, program managers, and people managers. The engineer will participate in design reviews, firmware quality improvements, and architectural discussions.
