Job description

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences-from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you'll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges-striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
THE ROLE:
As a Program Manager for Firmware Architecture and AI initiatives, you will drive end-to-end execution of complex, cross-functional programs spanning firmware architecture, and AI-driven development workflows. This role is responsible for orchestrating delivery across distributed engineering teams, ensuring alignment between architecture, firmware development, validation, and emerging AI-based solutions.
You will partner closely with firmware architects, firmware development, validation, and AI innovation teams to enable scalable, high-quality solutions for next-generation server and DC GPU products. A key focus will be driving execution rigor, improving development efficiency through AI-enabled workflows, and ensuring alignment across globally distributed teams.
THE PERSON:
The ideal candidate has strong program management fundamentals combined with experience in low-level systems software (firmware, drivers, SOC platforms) and exposure to AI/ML-driven engineering workflows. You are comfortable operating in highly matrixed environments, driving alignment without direct authority, and bringing structure to complex, architecture-led initiatives.
You have a track record of successfully delivering technically complex programs in fast-paced environments and can effectively bridge gaps between architecture, development, validation, and emerging AI innovation efforts.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Drive execution of firmware architecture for Server and DCGPU initiatives, ensuring alignment across architecture, development, validation, and platform teams
  • Lead program management for AI-focused initiatives - including dashboard management, scheduling, prioritization, and execution tracking
  • Establish and maintain scalable program structures, including integrated schedules, dependency mapping, resource forecasting, and risk management
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams across global locations (North America and Asia) to ensure alignment on deliverables, milestones, and execution priorities
  • Drive clarity and accountability across architecture-driven workstreams that may span multiple organizations, programs, platforms, and execution teams
  • Identify execution gaps, risks, and dependencies early; proactively drive mitigation strategies and escalate where necessary
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting frameworks that provide clear visibility into program health, readiness, and key metrics
  • Improve execution efficiency by introducing structured processes, tools, and AI-enabled insights into program tracking and delivery
  • Facilitate cross-team communication, decision-making, and issue resolution for complex, interdependent technical initiatives

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong program management experience within systems software, firmware, or SOC/platform development environments
  • Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional programs with architecture, firmware, and hardware interactions
  • Familiarity with server platforms, data center GPU architectures, or high-performance computing environments
  • Experience supporting or driving AI/ML-based engineering initiatives
  • Demonstrated success operating in matrixed organizations with distributed, global teams
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to engage both technical and executive stakeholders
  • Experience with Agile and/or hybrid development methodologies in large-scale engineering programs
  • PMP certification is preferred

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Master's or Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or Electrical Engineering is desired

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
