Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. THE PERSON : We are seeking an outstanding Applied ML Researcher, Gen AI, Advanced Graphics Program who has technical expertise and embodies innovative thinking in the field of generative AI and real-time graphics technologies. The ideal candidate will be a passionate, skilled researcher with a good understanding of machine learning frameworks, transformers, and neural graphics, coupled with strong programming expertise in C++, Python, and GPU-related technologies. This individual must demonstrate the ability to work on cutting-edge research, translate academic insights into practical applications, and contribute to technological innovation at the intersection of generative AI, gaming experiences, and computational graphics. THE ROLE : In this role, you'll contribute towards inventing and building disruptive technologies for various current and future PC gaming experiences with real-time immersive rendering, generative AI techniques (Diffusion / Transformer) and large language model, which would also need to influence in accelerating data center workloads. KEY RESPONSIBITIES : Work with a team of applied researchers to invent and path find new GenAI based technologies in real time neural graphics and other ML accelerated opportunities including data center workloads. Perform STOA research; Implement POCs to demonstrate these disruptive technologies keeping a keen eye on low level HW and SW optimizations. Create comprehensive datasets to test POCs for quality and performance Contribute to writing software architecture specs to deliver to ISV / Dev tech teams to aid deployment to product. Contribute towards AMD's IP portfolio by publishing novel research in top conferences. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE : Experience developing ML models in popular frameworks ( PyTorch, Tensorflow etc.,) Ability to reproduce STOA and iterate on it to fit the application under consideration. Through understanding of attention modules, diffusion transformers and vision transformers. Excellent C / C++ / Scripting (Python, etc.) skills. Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills along with attention to details. Knowledge of Graphics / Compute APIs (DX / OpenGL / Vulkan / OpenCL etc.) Knowledge of GPU architecture is a plus. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS : Undergrad degree required. Bachelor or Master of Science degree with emphasis in Computer Science, Computer architecture, or Electrical Engineering with relevant experience preferred. #LI-BM1 #LI-Hybrid Benefits offered are described : AMD benefits at a glance.
