Fellow Firmware Engineering

Location: Bangalore, India

**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:**

AMD is seeking a Fellow to set the technical direction for firmware and systems software across AMD's CPU, GPU and AI platforms, in a fast-paced team that works like a startup inside AMD. You will join as a senior technical leader for firmware that is central to AMD's products, from pre-silicon development to systems in production. There are no component boundaries: you will define the architecture across embedded firmware, Linux kernel drivers, host libraries and tools, telemetry, pre-silicon platforms, and silicon and system bring-up, and you will stay hands-on with the hardest problems across product generations. The decisions you make will shape AMD's firmware roadmap, the engineers you grow, and how the team builds and ships software with AI-native development.

**THE PERSON:**

You are a recognized technical authority in firmware and systems software for CPUs, GPUs, accelerators or other complex SoCs, with a track record of defining architectures that shipped at scale and of personally solving the hardest cross-layer problems. You set direction where none exists, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and drive them to shipped results at a startup's pace. You have the credibility and communication skills to influence architects, silicon teams, executives, customers and industry partners, and you take as much pride in growing principal engineers as in the designs and code you contribute yourself.

**KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:**

• Own the technical vision and end-to-end architecture of the firmware and systems software stack across product generations, spanning RTOS firmware, Linux drivers, host libraries and tools, and telemetry and management interfaces.
• Shape silicon and system architecture for next-generation products together with AMD's architecture, silicon and platform teams, bringing firmware, software, telemetry and debuggability requirements in early.
• Stay hands-on: prototype critical paths, review designs and code across every layer, and personally lead the hardest debugging across hardware, firmware and software.
• Define the strategy for pre-silicon development, silicon bring-up and system validation, and for the engineering systems (CI, automated regression and debug tooling) that let the team move fast.
