Job description
from AMD careersWHAT 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:
This role offers a rare opportunity for a senior technical leader to shape the future of memory interface technology at scale. As a key architect within the AMD Circuit Technology Design Group, you will influence the definition, architecture, and delivery of next-generation Memory PHY solutions in advanced CMOS technologies. The focus is on long-term impact: setting technical direction, guiding critical design decisions, and enabling teams to deliver differentiated mixed-signal IP across future SoCs.
This position is well suited for technologists who value deep technical ownership, architectural influence, and the ability to leave a lasting technical legacy-without requiring people-management as a primary responsibility.
