Employer job description
From AMD's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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
The Senior Product Manager, AI Infrastructure and Solutions owns the system-level product definition, integration readiness, and launch readiness for AMD-based solutions that combine hardware and software into a deployable, supportable offering. This role translates customer and segment needs into clear, testable requirements spanning platform hardware, firmware/drivers, software stack, and ecosystem dependencies (OEM/ODM/ISV/cloud).
At the Senior Product Manager, AI Infrastructure and Solutions level, you independently lead complex, cross-functional solution scopes across one major segment (e.g., Hyperscaler AI, Enterprise, or HPC) and/or a horizontal solution domain with minimal supervision, building strong relationships and influence with stakeholders. Success is measured by the quality of system requirements, compatibility/supportability, integration clarity, and GA readiness.
This work opportunity is an individual contributor role (not a people manager), and is based in Austin, TX; potential consideration for Santa Clara CA or Seattle WA as well.
THE PERSON
- You are a strong systems thinker with the ability to connect workload requirements to hardware/software architecture and lifecycle constraints
- Technically credible with Engineering and TME; effective with PMM, Sales, Ops, and xBU PMs
- You operate well in ambiguity and consistently turn it into structured decisions, documented tradeoffs, and executable plans
- A high ownership mindset is your trademark; drive alignment and closure across teams without formal authority
- Excellent written and verbal communications for executive audiences; You have a track record of producing high-quality artifacts and communicating risk clearly to leadership
- Pragmatic and data-driven, you distinguish between customer requests and product requirements
- You demonstrate mature judgment in balancing performance, supportability, schedule, and ecosystem readiness
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own system-level product definition (HW + SW)
- Author and maintain System Requirements Specifications (SRS) for solutions spanning hardware platform, firmware/driver, software stack, compatibility, manageability, and lifecycle expectations
- Define assumptions, constraints, non-goals, and acceptance criteria
- Translate customer/segment needs into prioritized requirements
- Consolidate and normalize customer, Sales, OEM/ODM partner, and internal stakeholder inputs into a structured, prioritized requirements backlog with decision rationale
- Ensure requirements are workload-grounded and aligned to segment outcomes
- Lead cross-functional dependency and integration planning
- Identify dependencies across silicon/platform, firmware/drivers, ROCm/software stack, frameworks, OEM systems, and cloud images
- Surface integration risks early, drive tradeoff discussions, and maintain decision logs
- Set performance targets and benchmarking expectations (with TME/Eng)
- Define workload-level performance goals and proof requirements
- Ensure performance claims are tied to reproducible methodology and validated configurations
- Support launch readiness and field enablement
- Provide accurate “product truth” to PMM and Sales, including supported configs, limitations, known issues, prerequisites, and proof points
- Contribute to launch briefs, release notes, demo/reference configuration alignment, and field FAQs
- Run post-launch feedback and escalation triage
- Structure field feedback intake and prioritize top issues
- Help determine whether a hotfix, point release, or roadmap action is appropriate; feed learnings into sustaining and next-gen requirements
- Maintain stakeholder alignment and visibility
- Publish regular status, risks, decisions, and asks to Eng, TME, PMM, Ops, Sales/FAE, and xBU PMs
- Escalate with clear options and tradeoffs when decisions are needed
- PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- Senior-level, cross-functional, large enterprise experience in Product Management, Solutions Product Management, Technical Product Management, Systems Engineering, or related roles in:
- Data center infrastructure
- AI/ML platforms
- HPC systems
- Enterprise solutions
- Integrated hardware + software products
- Strong working knowledge of several of the following: Platform/system architecture (power/thermals, topology, I/O, networking, memory, RAS)
- Firmware/driver and software stack dependencies
- Benchmarking methodology and reproducibility
- Demonstrated experience defining and launching system-level solutions requiring coordination across hardware, firmware, drivers, software frameworks, and partner ecosystems.
- Excellent communications, collaboration, and relationship building across functions and organizations, including experience presenting to executives
- Experience working well in ambiguity and creating structure and alignment across teams without formal authority, including excellent written and verbal communications for executive audiences
- ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
- Bachelor degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field strongly desired
- MBA or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related field preferred
- This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
