What You Do At AMD Changes Everything

At AMD, we push the boundaries of what is possible. We believe in changing the world for the better by driving innovation in high-performance computing, graphics, and visualization technologies - building blocks for gaming, immersive platforms, and the data center.

Developing great technology takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration, respect, and who will go the "extra mile" to achieve unthinkable results. It takes people who have the passion and desire to disrupt the status quo, push boundaries, deliver innovation, and change the world. If you have this type of passion, we invite you to take a look at the opportunities available to come join our team.

AMD is looking for a Software Developer to join our Open-Source Deep Learning Compiler Team. The compiler reads machine learning networks ang generates code for ACAPs that is optimized for latency, throughput and power.

In this position, you will compile and optimize machine learning networks in languages like PyTorch, TensorFlow or ONNX. You will work closely with senior developers to identify and implement optimizations and transformations, such as quantization, operator fusion, tiling, and memory layout, targeted to ACAP, and will contribute to open-source code based on MLIR (Multi-level Internal Reference).
