TL;DR · Storage and Memory Systems Architect

The Storage and Memory Systems Architect joins the Data Center GPU organization to set the future vision and technical requirements for memory, storage, and data infrastructure. Working within the DSG Platform Architecture and Strategy team, this role involves collaborating with hardware and software engineers to design systems from the node to the rack level. Key responsibilities include driving technical strategy for enterprise products, conducting hands-on proof of concepts, and translating workload trends into system architecture and SoC implications. The role requires expertise in x86 architectures, high-speed digital design, and interconnects. Specific technical knowledge includes flash, storage-class memory, RAID, SSDs, DDR, NVMe, NVMe-oF, PCIe, CXL, UCIe, Ethernet, and Infiniband. The position solves complex dataflow and memory tiering problems for AI, HPC, and cloud-native computing.

What you'll do

  • Define future vision and technical requirements for memory, storage, and data infrastructure.
  • Translate workload and application trends into system architecture and SoC implications across the hardware and software stack.
  • Conduct hands-on proof of concepts to collect data and facts for architectural decisions.
  • Partner with engineering teams to drive reference platform requirements and influence the SoC roadmap.
  • Collaborate with OEMs, end customers, and partners to define joint product roadmaps based on specific use cases.
  • Represent AMD’s datacenter system-level vision in industry consortiums, events, and strategic partnerships.
  • Analyze technical tradeoffs to provide fact-based recommendations with technical, business, and financial impacts.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering.
  • 10 or more years of applicable experience.
  • Ability to translate highly technical concepts into actionable plans and drive hands-on proof of concepts.
  • Exceptional communication skills to address multiple internal and external stakeholders.
  • Skill in analyzing tradeoffs and making analytical, fact-based recommendations with technical, business, and financial impacts.
  • Experience as lead architect/engineer for Enterprise level storage platforms/sub-systems (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of computer architectures based on CPUs and x86 experience (preferred).
  • Experience with high-speed digital design, interconnects, storage protocols, and networking/IO (preferred).
