Sr. Product Manager, Datacenter Solutions

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•Austin, TX

About The Position

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. The Role: The Sr. Product Manager, Solutions Product Management, owns the system-level product definition, integration readiness, and launch readiness for AMD-based solutions that combine hardware and software into a deployable, supportable offering. This role translates customer and segment needs into clear, testable requirements spanning platform hardware, firmware/drivers, software stack, and ecosystem dependencies (OEM/ODM/ISV/cloud). At the Senior PM level, this role is expected to independently lead complex, cross-functional solution scopes across one major segment (e.g., Hyperscale AI, Enterprise, or HPC) and/or a horizontal solution domain with minimal supervision. Success is measured by the quality of system requirements, compatibility/supportability, integration clarity, and GA readiness. The Person Strong systems thinker with the ability to connect workload requirements to hardware/software architecture and lifecycle constraints. Technically credible with Engineering and TME; effective with PMM, Sales, Ops, and xBU PMs. Operates well in ambiguity but consistently turns it into structured decisions, documented tradeoffs, and executable plans. High ownership mindset; drives alignment and closure across teams without formal authority. Strong written and verbal communicator; produces high-quality artifacts and communicates risk clearly to leadership. Pragmatic and data-driven; distinguishes between customer requests and product requirements. Demonstrates mature judgment in balancing performance, supportability, schedule, and ecosystem readiness.

Responsibilities

Own system-level product definition (HW + SW)
Author and maintain System Requirements Specifications (SRS) for solutions spanning hardware platform, firmware/driver, software stack, compatibility, manageability, and lifecycle expectations.
Define assumptions, constraints, non-goals, and acceptance criteria.
Consolidate and normalize customer, Sales, OEM/ODM partner, and internal stakeholder inputs into a structured, prioritized requirements backlog with decision rationale.
Ensure requirements are workload-grounded and aligned to segment outcomes.
Identify dependencies across silicon/platform, firmware/drivers, ROCm/software stack, frameworks, OEM systems, and cloud images.
Surface integration risks early, drive tradeoff discussions, and maintain decision logs.
Define workload-level performance goals and proof requirements.
Ensure performance claims are tied to reproducible methodology and validated configurations.
Provide accurate “product truth” to PMM and Sales, including supported configs, limitations, known issues, prerequisites, and proof points.
Contribute to launch briefs, release notes, demo/reference configuration alignment, and field FAQs.
Structure field feedback intake and prioritize top issues.
Help determine whether a hotfix, point release, or roadmap action is appropriate; feed learnings into sustaining and next-gen requirements.
Publish regular status, risks, decisions, and asks to Eng, TME, PMM, Ops, Sales/FAE, and xBU PMs.
Escalate with clear options and tradeoffs when decisions are needed.
