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.
THE ROLE
As a Senior Manager in the Computing & Graphics (CG) Architecture team, you will lead a team of microarchitecture engineers responsible for defining SOC designs across client, discrete graphics, handheld gaming, gaming console, and related platforms. You will guide the team from early concept development through production, owning microarchitecture specification definition and supporting architecture evaluations against performance, power, area, and cost trade-offs. In this highly collaborative role, you will partner closely with SOC architecture and execution teams to drive solutions and resolve program challenges. You will also champion the adoption of AI-assisted engineering flows and tools across the team.
THE PERSON
The ideal candidate is an innovative, analytical thinker with deep SOC expertise and a passion for solving complex engineering challenges. They bring strong technical judgment, proactively identify risks, and drive mitigation plans in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. They are an effective people leader who excels at mentoring engineers, building high-performing teams, and fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and accountability. Strong communication, organizational, and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to navigate ambiguity, align cross-functional teams, and deliver results across multiple concurrent programs.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead and manage a team of design/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
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- 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, 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 strong 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
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
