The Role

You will join our Customer eXperience Engineering (CXE) team, which is part of AMD’s Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group. This is an exciting opportunity to work within a highly strategic and important part of AMD’s business, targeting the next generation of FPGA technologies and software tools to meet the needs of our broad market of customers.

What You’ll Be Doing

As part of the CXE team you will act as ‘Customer Zero’, helping to develop software/firmware as part of full system solutions on our next generations of Adaptive SoCs/FPGAs using tools such as AMD’s Vitis design software, and working with a variety of Operating Systems such as Zephyr RTOS, FreeRTOS, and Embedded Linux.

You will gain exposure to the entire software/firmware development process and learn what it takes to bring a complex design from concept to deployment.

You will be involved in overseeing and integrating embedded software solutions, integrating and verifying firmware in collaboration with the systems and hardware team, and investigating new and emerging technologies and software flows.

You will work within a small team of embedded developers, and mentor junior engineers.

You will be closely involved with the other technical leads and program manager to scope integration and verification activities throughout the program lifecycle.
