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.

THE ROLE:

Join a team at the forefront of computing innovation. This is an exceptional opportunity for a senior‑level engineer passionate about FPGA and ASIC development to work on advanced, high‑impact projects using world‑class infrastructure. As a senior member of the team, you will play a pivotal role in the design, integration, and system‑level validation of cutting‑edge IPs and subsystems across both FPGA and ASIC platforms. Your work will support diverse and exciting markets ranging from wireless communications to aerospace and defense—technologies that are critical to AMD’s future and to customers worldwide. Beyond hands‑on technical leadership, you’ll help shape the team’s technical direction, mentor junior engineers, and influence best practices across projects. This role offers strong visibility, real ownership, and clear opportunities for career growth.

THE PERSON:

You are a collaborative, naturally curious engineer who thrives in a team environment. You communicate complex ideas clearly, enjoy solving challenging problems, and are motivated by continuous learning. You’re comfortable collaborating across global teams and take pride in helping others grow technically and professionally.

KEY RESPONSILITIES:

  • Lead technical discussions and collaborate with system architects, hardware, and software engineers to define and deliver new features
  • Act as a technical mentor to junior engineers through design reviews, best‑practice guidance, and day‑to‑day support
  • Design and implement high‑quality, high‑performance RTL for new features, modules, and systems
  • Develop software and scripts to configure, control, and test hardware modules and systems
  • Create clear, detailed documentation describing designs and interactions with hardware and software components
  • Debug complex system‑level issues, identify root causes, and partner with verification teams to deliver robust solutions
  • Estimate development schedules and test‑environment needs, and support junior engineers with project planning
  • Champion continuous improvement in design, validation, and development workflows

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Strong experience with modern, complex digital processing architectures
  • Deep understanding of FPGA and ASIC design flows, tools, and system‑level design
  • Solid software development and integration skills.

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.
