ADVANCE THE WORLD.\nAt AMD, we believe technology has the power to solve the world’s most important challenges. From advancing healthcare and scientific discovery to powering AI and the technologies people rely on every day, innovation at AMD is shaping the future.\nWhether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger - technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.\nTHE ROLE\nWe are seekinga highly skilled Senior Technical Program Manager to drive the adoption of AI-driven methodologies and tooling across our x86 Core Development Organization. This role spans the full pre-silicon lifecycle, including functional verification, RTL design, and physical design, and offers the opportunity to help transform how next-generation AMD x86 CPUs are developed.\nYou will turn promising AI/ML approaches into scalable, repeatable programs that improve engineering efficiency and design quality. Rather than building isolated point solutions, you will help shape how AI is integrated into day-to-day core development workflows across the organization.\nYou will define program goals, manage schedules and risks, and coordinate dependencies across design, verification, physical design, architecture, and data engineering teams. Partnering closely with the Cores leadership team, you will align priorities, track measurable efficiency and quality gains, and influence the broader AI adoption strategy for the organization.\nThis role provides direct exposure to Cores leadership and the opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading engineers developing next-generation AMD x86 CPUs. It requires strong technical fluency in CPU core development flows and AI/ML methods, exceptional program management capabilities, and the ability to influence strategy and priorities at the leadership level.\nTHE PERSON\nThe ideal candidate combines technical credibility across CPU core development, including functional verification, RTL design, and/or physical design, with a working knowledge of AI/ML techniques and how they can be applied to engineering workflows.\nYou are comfortable going deep into design and verificationflows, model approaches, and tooling architecture while also establishingclarity, ownership, and predictable delivery across teams that may be new to AI-driven ways of working. You can translate complex technical opportunities into structured programs, align stakeholders across organizations, and drive measurable outcomes.\nYou are motivated by the opportunity to lead meaningful transformation, work with cutting-edgetechnologies and resources, and contribute to a culture focused on continuous innovation. You want to influence how AI changes engineering work at scale while helping teams deliver higher-quality designs more efficiently.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES:\nDrive the definition and deployment of AI-enabled program strategies across verification, RTL design, and physical design within x86 core development.\nIdentify and prioritize opportunities to apply machine learning, data analytics, and automation to engineering workflows (e.g., predictive coverage modeling, test/testbench generation, timing and congestion prediction, floorplan and place-and-route optimization, RTL code assistance, anomaly detection in regression and bring-up data, root-cause and failure triage).\nDevelop program plans, define milestones, manage inter-team dependencies, and maintainprogram KPIs tied to verificationvelocity, coverage closure, PPA (power, performance, area) targets, and design-cycle schedule adherence.\nCoordinate cross-functional work across architecture, RTL/design, verification, DFT, physical design, performance modeling, and internal tooling/data engineering teams to build and scale intelligent workflows.\nPartner with EDA and internal tooling teams to define the infrastructure, data pipelines, and compute requirements needed to collect, clean, and analyze large volumes of simulation, coverage, timing, and layout data in support of AI/ML initiatives.\nEvaluate emerging AI tools and solutions (open-source, EDA-vendor, and internally built) for applicability across the core development lifecycle, and drive build-vs-buy recommendations.\nIdentify, track, and mitigate program risks and issues; escalate when needed and drive corrective action with stakeholders.\nFacilitate effective communication and alignment across design, verification, and physical design teams, as well as with EDA partners and tool vendors; serve as primary program point-of-contact for AI adoption initiatives.\nTrack and reportmeasurable improvements in engineering efficiency and design quality - including verification velocity, coverage efficiency, bug/defect escape rate, and design-cycle throughput - resulting from AI-driven methods.\nMentor and coordinate with engineering leads and other program managers to scale successful AI adoption pilots into repeatable, organization-wide practices.\nSupport technical tradeoffs and prioritization discussions by preparing data-backed analyses, schedules, and impact assessments for engineering and executive leadership.\nProactively identifyrisks, execution gaps, and systemic bottlenecks in the adoption of new methodologies; implement mitigation plans and hold teams accountable toclosure.\nFacilitate stakeholder communication and present technical progress, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership with clarity.\nPREFERRED EXPERIENCE:\nSignificantexperiencein CPU or SoC development, with hands-on background in one or more of: functional verification, RTL design, or physical design/implementation.\nProven TPM or technical program leadership delivering complex, cross-functional programs end-to-end in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.\nWorking knowledge of AI/ML or data science techniques and demonstratedexperience applying them (or overseeing their application) to hardware design, verification, or EDA-related problems.\nSolid understanding of core development flows and tooling (e.g., simulation, regression, coverage collection and debug for verification; RTL/synthesis flows for design; timing, place-and-route, and physical verification for physical design), sufficient to credibly scope and prioritize AI initiatives across these domains.\nDemonstrated experience with program planning tools (Jira, Confluence, MS Project, or equivalent) and agile delivery practices.\nExcellent stakeholder management, written and verbal communication, and presentation skills; comfortable engaging at both engineering and executive levels.\nDirect hands-on experience with Python and common ML frameworks/tooling (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) as applied to engineering or EDA data.\nExperience working with large datasets, relational databases, and visualization tools (e.g., Pandas, SQL, Tableau) in a silicon design or verification context.\nPrior experience developing or deploying ML models for EDA, verification, or physical design applications specifically.\nFamiliarity with model training/monitoring tools (e.g., TensorBoard, MLflow, Weights & Biases) andreinforcement learning or active learning approaches in constrained engineering domains.\nExperience spanning more than one ofverification, RTL design, and physical design, or experience leading programs that cut across multiple core-development disciplines.\nACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:\nA master's or bachelor'sdegree in computer engineering, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering is desired.\nLOCATION:\nFishkill, NY is preferred, open to other AMD locations\nTHIS ROLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR VISA SPONSORSHIP\n#LI-AJ1\nBenefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.\nAMD does not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services.
