AMD is seeking a Technical Marketing Engineer to join the Product, Software & Solutions (PSAS) Technical Marketing team. This is a highly technical, hands‑on role focused on x86‑based processing systems, customer enablement, and field engagement.
This position operates at the intersection of system architecture, hardware, firmware, low‑level software, and customer engagement. The role is not traditional marketing; it requires deep technical expertise combined with strong communication skills to support internal teams, field engineering, and external customers.
The ideal candidate brings strong x86 system‑level expertise, is comfortable working hands‑on with hardware and software, and excels at translating complex technical topics into clear, actionable content for customers and field teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Define, develop, and demonstrate customer reference designs, demos, and example x86 platforms
- Provide technical support to customers deploying x86‑based systems
- Run industry‑standard benchmarks and present results to customers, field engineering, and internal stakeholders
- Develop and execute tests to measure system‑level performance, including bandwidth and latency, across multiple workloads
- Build, configure, and test systems using Linux
- Debug and resolve customer issues across industry‑standard protocols and interfaces including PCIe, USB, SATA, and Ethernet
- Work hands‑on with AMD tools to support hardware design, system bring‑up, and low‑level software development
- Document best design practices, application notes, and technical guidance for both internal stakeholders and external customers
- Develop training and technical marketing materials for AMD field and customer‑facing teams
- Act as a technical liaison between customers, field teams, and engineering to drive customer requirements back into Engineering
- Collaborate with engineering, marketing, FAEs, and sales teams across multiple geographies to deliver timely, customer‑ready solutions
Required Qualifications
- In‑depth system‑level understanding of embedded and x86‑based processing systems
- Strong expertise in x86 CPU architecture and system operation
- Deep understanding of:
- Compilers and toolchains
- Operating systems and hypervisors
- Debuggers
- System requirements and performance behavior
- Solid understanding of hardware design, including schematics and hardware analysis
- Board bring‑up experience, including hands‑on hardware‑level debugging
- Experience with Linux, BIOS, UEFI, and bootloaders
- Working knowledge of industry‑standard interfaces and technologies:
- DDR4 / DDR5
- PCIe Gen3 / Gen4 / Gen5
- Ethernet (1G, 2.5G, 10G)
- Fully self‑sufficient in software development, including coding and debugging
- Strong programming skills with Python, Perl, C/C++, and assembly
- Proven ability to write application notes, white papers, and customer‑facing technical documentation
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering, marketing, customers, FAEs, and sales teams
- Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, highly collaborative, multi‑geography environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience in technical marketing, systems engineering, or customer‑facing engineering roles
