ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD.

At AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.

Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.

Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) for AI and GenAI Inference Optimization

About the Role

We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff to join our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team. In this customer-facing role, you will work directly with strategic partners and customers as part of the FDE team to enable, optimize, and deploy state-of-the-art GenAI inference workloads on AMD data center CPUs and GPUs (Instinct™ family). You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI models and AMD hardware, driving competitive performance across the full inference stack.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with customers as part of the FDE team to enable and optimize large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models on AMD Instinct GPUs, meeting committed performance and accuracy targets.
  • Optimize GenAI inference pipelines on vLLM and SGLang, including PD disaggregation, expert parallelism (EP/wide-EP), tensor/data parallelism, speculative decoding, and KV cache management.
  • Develop and tune low-level GPU kernels (Triton, HIP, composable kernels) for attention, MoE, GEMM, quantization, and normalization operations.
  • Profile end-to-end workloads, identify bottlenecks across GPU/CPU boundaries, and deliver measurable throughput and latency improvements versus competitive targets.
  • Enable advanced data types and techniques (FP8, MXFP4, sparse attention) with a focus on both performance and numerical accuracy.
  • Debug complex runtime, stability, and accuracy issues in production environments; partner with core engineering teams to identify root causes and contribute fixes.
  • Contribute optimizations back to open-source frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, ATOM, AITER) and internal libraries; document best practices and deliver production-ready artifacts to customers.
  • Leverage AI-assisted coding tools and agentic workflows to accelerate development, debugging, optimization, and code review across the inference stack.

What You'll Bring

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, along with 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Solid expertise in GPU architecture and performance optimization, including hands-on experience with AMD ROCm (or CUDA) and GPU kernel development.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and C++, with experience developing and optimizing kernels using Triton, HIP, or CUDA.
  • Experience with AI-assisted coding and agentic development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or equivalent) to enhance productivity in kernel development, large-scale codebase navigation, debugging, and framework integration.
  • Experience working with LLM inference frameworks (vLLM, SGLang, or equivalent) and serving optimization techniques.
  • Solid understanding of transformer and MoE architectures, quantization, and distributed inference strategies (TP, DP, EP, and related parallelism techniques).
  • Proficiency with profiling and debugging tools (e.g., rocProfiler, ROCdebug-agent).

Nice to Have

  • Experience optimizing frontier models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, etc.) in production environments.
  • Track record of contributing to open-source AI inference frameworks.
  • Experience integrating AI-driven automation into engineering workflows and developer tooling.
  • Strong customer-facing communication skills and the ability to manage technical deliverables against committed timelines.

AMD is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. We encourage candidates to apply even if their experience does not align perfectly with every qualification listed. If you are excited about this role and believe you can make an impact, we would welcome your application.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
