About The Position

Join AMD’s Pro AV, Broadcast, and Consumer Business Unit as a customer‑facing Systems Architect, where you will help shape how next‑generation audio‑video systems are built, deployed, and scaled around the world. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of FPGA‑based system architecture, customer engagement, outbound technical marketing, and internal product planning. You’ll work closely with customers, sales teams, distribution partners, and internal engineering groups to translate real‑world video and networking challenges into scalable system solutions and future AMD silicon and IP capabilities. This is a fast‑paced, highly visible role within a small, expert team that directly influences product direction, customer adoption, and AMD’s leadership in media, entertainment, and video infrastructure markets.

Requirements

• Systems thinker who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys balancing technical depth with big-picture decision-making.
• Comfortable switching context frequently - engaging with customers, collaborating with sales teams, influencing internal roadmaps, and presenting technical concepts clearly to varied audiences.
• Confidence in technical judgment.
• Ability to independently prioritize competing demands.
• Comfortable making architectural trade-offs that balance customer needs, scalability, and business impact.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline is preferred.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with video systems in Broadcast, Pro AV, or media infrastructure environments.
• Knowledge of audio-video transport over Ethernet or IP networks.
• Hands-on exposure to FPGA-based or SoC-based system architecture.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and Linux-based environments at a system level.
• Experience engaging with customers, sales teams, or partners in a technical role.
• Ability to create and present technical collateral for customer and field consumption.
• Background as a Field Applications Engineer, Applications Engineer, Systems Engineer, or customer-side engineer is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Grow AMD's traditional FPGA and SoC business in the Pro AV / Broadcast & Consumer business unit.
• Architect and propose solutions that meet the customer's technical and commercial requirements.
• Conduct competitive analysis to ensure that we are competitively positioned.
• Convert customer feedback to drive AMD's technology roadmap for silicon, software, and IP (intellectual property). Influence product planning so that the needs of the business unit are met.
• Engage in business development activities to increase AMD’s share at the customer.
• Perform outbound marketing, including creating collateral for sales and customers, and creating demos to emphasize product technology leadership.
• Identify, engage, and grow ecosystem partners to scale business.
• Work very closely with the worldwide sales teams (internal and external).
• Identify new vertical markets to expand into, including market analysis, market research, and market-based solution proposals.
• Manage projects, create SoW, define MRD, and engage with external partners to develop custom solutions.
• Apply Machine Learning to the products being designed by our customers, understanding industry trends, models, and implementation aspects that will benefit our customers.
