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:
We are seeking a self-motivated GPU Hardware Security Architect to join our growing GPU Architecture team. In this role, you will help define AMD's next-generation GPU security architecture across AI/ML, Compute, and Discrete Gaming products.
The position will drive security features that protect register access, firmware interfaces, configuration controls, and sensitive customer data. Responsibilities include threat modeling, access-path analysis, security architecture, and cross-functional execution support, and require strong technical depth, problem-solving ability, and communication skills.
THE PERSON:
We are looking for an adaptive, self-motivated engineer to join our growing GPU architecture team. As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive AMD's market-leading GPU designs across AI/Machine Learning, Compute, and Discrete GPU gaming products. You will be involved with threat modeling, analyzing data and register access paths, and researching security features for our next-generation designs. The role requires a special combination of technical breadth, problem-solving, and soft skills. The GPU Security Architect is a cross-functional technical leader.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Investigate and architect next-generation GPU IP features that enhance protection of register access and sensitive customer data, while enabling forward-looking product capabilities.
  • Research and quantify attack vectors through which bad actors can gain access to customer data or GPU configuration, disrupt correct GPU operation, impact performance, or circumvent GPU protections.
  • Experienced in the use of AI tools to identify and resolve security issues.
  • Ensure AMD's security offerings meet industry standards and anticipate industry trends.
  • Work with AMD SoC and other IP teams to track trends and development directions for GPU security.
