Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Boxborough, MA

About The Position

As a Senior Manager in AMD’s Computing & Graphics (CG) Architecture team, lead microarchitecture engineers defining SOC designs across client, discrete graphics, handheld gaming, gaming console, and related platforms. Guide the team from early concept development through production, owning microarchitecture specification definition and supporting architecture evaluations of performance, power, area, and cost trade-offs. Partner with SOC architecture and execution teams to develop solutions and resolve program challenges, and champion adoption of AI-assisted engineering flows and tools. The role calls for deep SOC expertise, strong technical judgment, and the ability to identify risks and drive mitigation in a fast-paced environment. The manager will mentor engineers, build high-performing teams, and foster technical excellence, collaboration, and accountability. Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills are needed to navigate ambiguity, align cross-functional teams, and deliver across concurrent programs. A bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline is required. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
Demonstrated SOC expertise spanning multiple projects from architecture definition through tapeout.
Proven expertise in RTL microarchitecture, digital design, implementation analysis, or industry-standard design methodologies.
In-depth understanding of SoC infrastructure, including power management (power domains, sequencing, and low-power states), clock and reset architecture, and integration of complex design IP.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate across architecture, design, verification, implementation, methodology, and SOC organizations.
Proven track record of delivering innovative, differentiating products through engineering problem-solving.
Experience managing RTL or design engineering teams with people leadership responsibility.
Experience with AI/ML applications in engineering workflows, such as design automation, optimization, or data analytics.

Responsibilities

Lead and manage design and microarchitecture engineers responsible for SOC definition across multiple programs.
Own team schedules, deliverables, and commitments; coordinate coverage and track execution across concurrent SOC programs.
Partner with SOC architecture, design, and execution teams to resolve program-level challenges and deliver results.
Champion development and adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows within the team.
Mentor, coach, and develop engineers at all levels, fostering a high-performance culture of innovation and accountability.
