The AMD AI Group seeks a Senior Silicon Design Engineer to co-design the hardware-software interface for AMD Instinct™ GPUs, working closely with hardware architects to model and evaluate how GPU microarchitecture interacts with AI frameworks and the ROCm™ software stack. Day-to-day responsibilities include building performance and power models that connect architectural decisions to real workload behavior, evaluating proposed hardware features against AI training and inference targets, and optimizing GPU kernels and compiler passes for AMD GPUs. The role involves deep collaboration across the Linux kernel DRM/GEM layer, ROCm™ runtime, IREE compiler, and AI frameworks like PyTorch and Triton, requiring expertise in C/C++, Python, CUDA/HIP, and knowledge of modern AI model architectures. Ideal candidates have 5+ years of industry experience at the hardware-software boundary, strong computer architecture skills, and proficiency with AMD Instinct GPU architectures and ROCm™ stack.
