About the role

We file this job under Data Scientist, by the work the posting describes.

Data scientists use statistics and models to answer harder questions, such as whether a change worked, what demand will look like next quarter, or which customers are likely to leave.

Postings usually ask for Python or R, SQL, statistics, experiment design and common machine learning methods.

Unlike an ML engineer, a data scientist's main output is often an analysis or a first model, not software running inside a product.

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. 

At 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. 

 

Whether 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.




THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking a Member of Technical Staff (Staff Researcher) to research and build next-generation machine learning systems, with an emphasis on large-scale AI inference, performance analysis, and system simulation.

You will join the AMD Research and Advanced Development (RAD) group, which creates differentiated technologies, de-risks future systems and products, and seeds new market opportunities. The team investigates machine learning systems, AI infrastructure, computer architecture, and heterogeneous computing across hardware and software.

 

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate is a systems researcher with strong analytical and implementation skills. You will work at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and computer architecture to advance the performance, efficiency, and interactivity of emerging AI workloads. You should be able to formulate open-ended research problems, work across multiple levels of the system stack, and validate ideas through rigorous analysis and experimentation. You should also be comfortable leading technically ambiguous projects, collaborating across teams, and adapting research directions to emerging technical opportunities and product priorities.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

The Staff Researcher will independently define and lead research projects. Responsibilities include:

  • Develop methods for efficient large-scale AI inference, targeting improvements in latency, throughput, cost, and interactivity.
  • Develop simulators, emulators, analytical models, and research prototypes to study end-to-end inference-system behavior, including compute, memory, communication, scheduling, and data center-scale constraints.
  • Design rigorous experiments to benchmark and profile AI workloads, validate models against measured system behavior, and identify bottlenecks, performance trade-offs, and optimization opportunities.
  • Explore emerging model architectures, inference algorithms, and deployment strategies, and translate advances in machine learning systems and infrastructure into new research directions.
  • Collaborate with internal product and research teams and external research institutes, while communicating findings through technical presentations, publications, and recommendations.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

 

  • Strong hands-on research experience , including PHD research, laboratory work, internships, or work in academic or industrial research groups
  • Research or development experience in machine learning systems, particularly large-scale inference, performance modeling and simulation, distributed systems and networking, computer architecture, hardware–software co-design, or GPU and accelerator programming.
  • Strong programming and experimental skills, with experience building research prototypes and using modern machine learning frameworks, GPU software stacks, profiling tools, and quantitative performance analysis.
