Job description

The Forward Deployed AI Engineer at AMD is responsible for building prototypes, tools, integrations, and evaluation loops that transform AI opportunities into functional engineering systems. This hands-on role involves collaborating with internal engineering teams and strategic partners to understand workflows and connect AI systems to real tools. The engineer will focus on translating stakeholder needs into concrete experiments and integrating findings back into research and platform teams. A culture of innovation and collaboration drives the team's mission to advance AI and computing experiences.

Requirements

  • Strong software engineering skills in Python and at least one systems or application language such as C++, C, TypeScript, HIP, or CUDA.
  • Experience building AI-enabled applications, ML systems, developer tools, automation systems, or technical prototypes for expert users.
  • Ability to integrate with complex tools, APIs, logs, build systems, test systems, and internal engineering environments.
  • Strong debugging, systems thinking, and ability to move from ambiguous requirements to working software.
  • Clear written and verbal communication with engineering stakeholders, researchers, partner teams, and leadership.

Responsibilities

  • Build forward-deployed AI prototypes and production-oriented workflows for engineering teams and strategic partners.
  • Integrate LLMs and agents with real engineering tools such as compilers, profilers, test harnesses, simulators, validation systems, knowledge bases, dashboards, and ticketing systems.
  • Translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into working software, clear evaluations, and measurable proof points.
  • Design and maintain evaluation harnesses, benchmark workflows, logging, dashboards, and reproducible experiment pipelines.
  • Partner with AI researchers to test new methods in realistic environments and identify areas for improvement.
  • Support strategic technical engagements by preparing demos, prototypes, technical documentation, and implementation plans.
  • Improve adoption by making tools easy for engineers to run, inspect, debug, and trust.
  • Capture reusable patterns from field deployments and feed them into shared infrastructure, libraries, and best practices.

Benefits

  • AMD provides a competitive 'Total Rewards' package that focuses on financial growth, health, and work-life balance.
