5G System Architect (9)

The Role

As a System Architect in Embedded Business Unit, you will provide deep technical expertise and technical leadership in developing complete and optimized solutions that are based on AMD products including x86 processors, integrated CPU + GPU SoCs, and GPUs. Complete solutions mean target system use cases and applications for the target market segments that Embedded business unit focuses on. Specific segments include networking, security/firewall, storage, wireless infrastructure, edge computing, industrial IoT, automotive, and embedded.  This specific position requires strong expertise in wireless infrastructure, 5G protocol and specifications. Complete solutions include all relevant software components and other hardware components in a system. You will develop reference system architecture for target use cases, optimization recipes for maximizing application performance, and innovation which enables strong differentiation of AMD based solutions. You will be a hands-on expert in analyzing and optimizing performance, and in developing software and PoCs. You will collaborate with customers, partners and internal product and engineering teams as a technical expert with deep domain expertise in the target use cases, system architecture, software stacks and performance optimization.

The ability to establish and drive to goals including plan of record, timelines, budget, scope, performance and quality will be critical to success.  A passion for creating plans and working with a diverse list of internal and external customers is necessary for this critical and highly visible role. 

The applicant must be a team player who makes and meets commitments, and demonstrates an aptitude to thrive in a fast paced, multi-tasking environment.
