TL;DR · Storage and Memory Systems Architect

As a Storage and Memory Systems Architect within the Data Center GPU organization, you will drive the future vision and technical requirements for memory, storage, and data infrastructure. You will join a team of seasoned engineers to influence enterprise products by translating workload trends into system architecture and SoC implications across the hardware and software stack. Your daily work involves collaborating with OEMs, ISVs, and IHVs to define joint roadmaps, conducting hands-on proofs of concept, and presenting technical strategies to industry consortiums. You will leverage expertise in x86 architectures, high-speed digital design, and interconnects like PCIe and CXL. The role focuses on solving complex challenges in AI training, inference, and agentic compute by integrating technologies such as NVMe, DDR, Ethernet, and Infiniband to optimize dataflow and memory tiering for high-performance computing environments.

What you'll do

  • Define technical requirements and vision for memory, storage, and data infrastructure within the Datacenter Solutions Group.
  • Translate workload and application trends into system architecture and SoC implications across the hardware and software stack.
  • Conduct hands-on proof of concepts to gather data and facts for architectural decision-making.
  • Collaborate with OEMs, ISVs, and IHVs to understand use cases and define joint product roadmaps.
  • Partner with engineering teams to drive reference platform requirements and influence the SoC roadmap.
  • Develop workload and application-level strategies in coordination with internal stakeholders and industry partners.
  • Represent AMD’s datacenter system vision at industry consortiums, events, and strategic partnerships.
  • Analyze technical trade-offs to provide fact-based recommendations regarding technical, business, and financial impacts.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering and 10 or more years of applicable experience.
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into actionable plans and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Experience developing, influencing, and collaborating on system architecture strategy across the hardware and software stack.
  • Ability to analyze trade-offs and provide fact-based recommendations regarding technical, business, and financial impacts.
  • Experience as lead architect/engineer for enterprise-level storage platforms or sub-systems (preferred).
  • Deep understanding of computer architectures based on CPUs, including x86 experience (preferred).
  • Knowledge of high-speed digital design, interconnects, and memory tiering concepts (preferred).
  • Expertise in storage protocols, networking, and IO technologies such as NVMe, PCIe, CXL, and InfiniBand (preferred).
