What you do at AMD changes everything 
 

At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible.  We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies – building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center. 
 

Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the “extra mile” to achieve unthinkable results.  It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world.   If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.

THE ROLE: 

Advanced Technology Group (ATG) is an entrepreneurial research and development team to build AMD's future IPs, advanced platforms & products. You will have the opportunity to work with a winning team, collaborate with various R&D teams & customers, explore innovative technologies, leading, architecting, and defining the development of best-in-class hardware, software, and systems that solve real-world problems for end users. 

THE PERSON: 

• ATG is looking for motivated and top minds to join our System Architecture Teams, to define, prototype, and drive our long-term growth in the Camera ISP (Image Signal Processor) technology domain. The person in this role will have a significant impact on current, as well as future products on the 2–5-year horizon. 
• In this role, you will envision, design, prototype, and deploy Camera algorithms, from Auto-Exposure, Auto-White balance, Auto-Focus, through innovative algorithms incorporating machine learning and other innovative technologies. You will also work closely with architects and leads across Camera software, hardware, and firmware teams. 
• You will be actively contributing to the development in areas of camera, computer vision, applied machine learning, optimal image quality, and advances in end-user experiences. Our advanced technology platforms span across different market ecosystems, and different operating systems including Windows, Linux, Chrome, and others.  

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Design, prototype, implement, and deploy Camera (ISP) algorithms on AMD platforms 

• Architect novel algorithms to improve end-user camera experience, leveraging AMD’s portfolio of advanced technologies 

• Collaborate with FW/SW/HW teams from product definition to deployment, to drive improvements into AMD’s imaging solutions 

• Hand-on debugging and analysis to identify and resolve issues in ISP algorithm behavior, image quality, to ensure top-tier end-user experiences 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Proven ISP algorithm design in mobile or laptop markets 

• Experience designing, evaluating, prototyping, implementing, and deploying Camera (ISP) algorithms such as 3A algorithms (auto exposure, auto white balance, auto focus), PDAF, HDR 

• Experience in computational photography 

• Experience in investigating and driving improvements across power, performance, and other Key Performance Indicators in algorithm performance and quality 

• Experience in Computer Vision or Machine Learning system design and deployment 

• In-depth knowledge tuning ISP solutions for customer objective and subjective criteria 

• Hands-on experience in analyzing and debugging algorithm issues  

• Experience developing camera software for one or more of Windows, Linux, other operating systems, or FW solutions 

• Familiarity with DXO mark and other quality scores, certifications 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• Master of Computer Systems, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar degree
