Field Application Engineer - AI
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 21, 2026. First seen by Alion on Mar 25, 2026.
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, gamingand embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuityand a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’lldiscover 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:
We are seeking an AI Application Engineer to join the HPC Centre of Excellence (HPC CoE). The role broadly involves;
- working with customers and partners in support of RFP-driven requests. Providing hands-on support to customers and partners to enable their AI workloads to run on AMD ‘Instinct’ datacentre GPUs
- broader engineering investigations to understand both performance and characteristic performance across popular and customer-specific training and inference workloads. Understand competitive positioning
- creating a body of technical documentation of AI performance on AMD hardware to support the Field Application team, partners, and customers
This is a ‘hand-on’ technical role and we are looking for an individual with an established background in AI who is already familiar in executing and tuning training and inference workloads. In addition to the technical aspect you will also need to be able to create and deliver presentations and training both remotely and in person to our customers and partners.
AMD continues to ramp its in-house AI expertise, and as such this role provides an opportunity for the candidate to grow within the role while creating a significant impact on the wider business, with significant visibility to executive level within AMD.
The role is based within Taiwan and will require some travel to customers and conferences both nationally and internationally.
THE PERSON:
Does this sound familiar? We'd love to talk!
- Track record working within AI. You are currently in a role undertaking AI inference or training as a key part of your function.
- Demonstrable hands-on expertise working with popular AI frameworks
- Strong positive can-do attitude willing to do what is necessary and lead others in the wider FAE team by example. Available to help colleagues.
- Skilled in independently prioritizing opportunities to deliver results on time
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Open to travel both domestic and international, approximately 10-20% over a year
- Good English
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Support winning new AI business. Enabling customers to execute their AI workloads on AMD Instinct GPUs and EYC CPUs. Supporting partners in RFP responses by testing requested workloads.
- Liaise and advise customers and partners through Proof of Concepts ‘POCs’, presentations, and training. POCs can be application or system/MLops oriented
- Engineering: execute popular and customer-driven AI inference and training workloads, generate results and create a characteristic understanding of AI performance on AMD hardware. Understand how system and software choices affect performance. Compare performance to our competition.
- Run training and inference performance investigations using common frameworks (Pytorch, Tensorflow, JAX) and using MLperf, Hugging Face etc
- Build a body of documentation for internal and external dissemination: AMD-internal guides, whitepapers, tuning guides, training collateral
- Proactive engagement across AMD teams: GPU Business Unit, Engineering, Architecture, Platform, Software, and Product Development teams providing feedback and leadership from the field on requirements. Gathering missing functionality and working with Engineering to resolve and test
- Assist in creating Total Cost of Ownership models to aid pricing with bid desk
- Technically owning and resolving customer and partner issues. Submitting JIRA tickets and driving resolution
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- Demonstrated experience with training and inference workloads on GPUs
- Executing applications in common frameworks (Pytorch, Tensorflow, Jax).
- Any experience with popular AI repositories (e.g. HuggingFace, MLperf) and understanding derived performance/functionality differences between them
- MLops: familiarity with KVM, Kubernetes, Openstack, Openshift
- Understanding system level hardware design and its impact on performance
- Understand how the software stack affects performance: frameworks, precision, compilers, libraries, and other accompanying middleware applications
- Customer-facing experience. Able to write technical documents and communicate at an appropriate level depending on the audience
- Some Linux administration; understanding setup for HPC/AI middleware.
- Good English
Nice to Haves:
- Hands-on AI experience within automotive, finance, enterprise, defense verticals
- Programming experience with any of HIP, CUDA, Python, C/C++, Fortran, OpenACC, OpenMP, pSTL
- Understanding impact of inter-node network choices on performance at scale. Creating performance projections for applications
- Deep Neural Networks and their design for different Machine Learning cases.
- Any experience understanding/inspecting/writing assembly
- Understanding of memory and cache hierarchy and methods to query performance/latency at each level. Inspecting and dataflow down to the register-level
- Government level security clearance
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelors' Degree in a technical field (Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics) preferred
LOCATION:
Taiwan
- #LI-FL1
- #LI-HYBRID
