Description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING 

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

AMD's Adaptive Embedded Compute Group (AECG) builds products that combine powerful, energy‑efficient CPUs, advanced neural engines, graphics processors, and adaptive embedded compute with programmable logic to deliver Physical AI and edge computing solutions.

Across autonomous vehicles and machines, medical and industrial robotics, and other embedded platforms, AMD is no longer building AI solely for insight. We are building safety‑critical and mission‑critical systems in which AI physically interacts with the real world, operating in real time with deterministic behavior and no margin for error.

AMD is seeking a Solution Architect – Physical AI to help plan, architect, design, and execute our Physical AI product roadmap. In this role, you will work across silicon, software, and system architecture to enable next‑generation Physical AI platforms and customer solutions

THE PERSON

The ideal candidate is an experienced Physical AI Solution Architect who thrives in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional environment and is motivated by solving complex system‑level challenges at the intersection of AI, hardware, and real‑world systems.

You bring strong architectural judgment, a customer‑focused mindset, and experience designing robust, deterministic systems where reliability, predictability, and safety are first‑order design constraints.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Partner with silicon planning and platform architecture teams to help define silicon features and software stacks for next‑generation Physical AI systems
• Collaborate with market segment architects and business leaders to create customer‑focused Physical AI solutions addressing complex requirements across Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Robotics, Industrial, and Vision markets
• Architect heterogeneous AI systems (CPU + GPU + NPU, FGPGA)
• Work closely with software engineering and product planning teams to define all aspects of the Physical AI software stack, including:
• ROCm and Ryzen™ AI software support for iGPUs and NPUs
• AMD's Virtualized Automotive Stack
• Robot Operating System (ROS)
• Multimedia analytics pipelines, AI models, and Vision‑Language Models (VLMs) and Large Language Models (LLMs)
• Evaluate and communicate system‑level tradeoffs and architectural decisions required to deploy AI in real‑time, deterministic, and safety‑constrained environments

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Experienced Electrical, Computer, or Systems Engineer with deep experience architecting AI‑enabled systems for robotics, automation, autonomous machines, or other safety‑critical / mission‑critical systems
• Hands‑on experience with AI inference hardware (GPU and NPU) and associated software stacks
• Experience with robotics application frameworks and system integration
• Demonstrated ability to break down large, complex problems into manageable deliverables and to manage and prioritize requirements across multiple stakeholders

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
